Students Today

Looking for something to do for Spring Break? Like helping others? If you answered yes, then we have the program for you! Alternative Spring Breaks (ASB) are trips where you can travel to another community, learn about social issues, and volunteer with local nonprofits assisting in the good work they are doing. This is EKU ASB's 10th Anniversary, and it promises to be more exciting and rewarding than ever. ASBs go to amazing locations like Washington DC, Miami, New Orleans, and more! On an ASB, you will tackle and learn about issues like food security, disaster recovery, and violence prevention among youth. ASBs are a great way to make a difference in the world, gain leadership experience, and create memories that will last a life time! Learn more about each trip and sign up on Orgsync Apply by 2/21/17 you will be entered into a drawing for an EKU Bookstore Gift Card.
