Alternative Spring Break
Goals of the Program
Alternative Spring Break offers college students the opportunity to be immersed in a week long interfaith service-learning program that allows the individual to become acquainted with members of religious communities in Philadelphia and be involved in intensive community service projects. Through these experiences, the students leave Philadelphia having gained greater sensitivity to an urban context, awareness of the integral link between religious values and service, and a deeper understanding of multiple religious traditions.
Who participates?
Undergraduates whose studies range from social work to chemical engineering and who identify in a number of religious communities or who do not identify with a religious group participate.
See photos and read poetry from Alternative Spring Break 2008.
