Spring Break Plans

When you think about Spring Break, what comes to mind? The sun, the beach, body shots, keg stands, and lots of embarrassing photos? What about helping rebuild the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina and Rita, or protesting against the death penalty, or enabling inner city kids to experience the great outdoors?

Let's face it, Spring Break is often a notorious time for partying hard, but it can be so much more. Young people all around the country are taking Alternative Spring Breaks and using this time off to give back to their communities (and their world).

If you are interested in helping those in need, consider taking an Alternative Spring Break. Check out the link below and find out how you can get involved and experience one of the most rewarding weeks of your life.
