Group of Alternative Spring Break participants

Alternative Spring Break is a student-run organization that conducts service projects during the fall, winter, spring, and summer breaks for University of Virginia students.

Mission Statement

The mission of Alternative Spring Break is to bring together members of the University community, who might not otherwise interact in their usual social spheres, in the common goals of service to and education about the global community, in order to promote and train future service leaders of Virginia.

Thank you, Dominion!
