Alternative Winter Break (AWB) offers two international trips where participants strengthen communities.
These trips, occurring during the academic winter break, focus on many different social issues like education, affordable housing, environmental, and much more. Learn to become a citizen of the world through strong direct service and reflection, and connect with other students who are looking to make a difference.
Students who are selected to serve on the trips participate in biweekly pre-trip meetings throughout first semester to help educate themselves on the social issues involved, as well as the language and culture of the communities they will be serving (on international trips). There will be a free day during each trip to explore the local communities and enjoy the sites!
Our international winter break rotates between Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Mexico.
We hope to host trips in May 2021. More information will be posted as it becomes available.
