“Spring Break lasts seven days . . .
      Alternative Spring Break lasts a lifetime.”

Since 1997, Alternative Spring Break at the University of Utah has placed teams of college students in distant communities to engage in community service and experiential learning during Spring Break. Each year, students leave behind the world of books and labs to enter communities grappling with issues of urban poverty, prejudice, hunger, rural poverty, HIV/AIDS, and environmental degradation. Host communities benefit from the tangible service work students perform, while students gain a broader perspective of the world—a perspective they then bring back to Utah and share with others.

This year, there are eight sites. Click here for more information on the sites.

All ASB trips are drug and alcohol free.
