Alternative Breaks
Alternative Breaks educates students about social issues and encourages civic engagement during academic breaks by participating in direct service projects in communities throughout the country and abroad. The mission of Alternative Breaks (AB) program at Florida International University (FIU) is to focus on creating active citizens through diversity, education, and leadership training to immerse them in diverse cultures and environments around the world to engage in service-oriented learning. We envision that the Alternative Breaks program at FIU will be the leading organization that provides service-learning experiences while creating civically engaged students who are actively committed to create positive social change in the local, national, and global communities. Alternative Breaks connects student passion with the world’s greatest needs, changing the world one break at a time.
