| Introduction | Alternative Breaks are student-initiated and organized trips to domestic and international locations with a variety of social justice themes. Trips intend to critically reflect on our role in the global community through service, activism, academic inquiry and leadership - while having fun at the same time. Alternative Breaks encourage participants to examine their own privilege while also recognizing their own personal role in the larger issues at hand. The goal of Alternative Breaks is not to be paternalistic, nor to impose personal views or perceptions; but rather to engage in open dialogue and for participants to learn through listening and observing by living within the local communities. |
