Our mission seeks to expose students to diverse cultures and communities
through service and activism, as students are immersed in unique environments in need of assistance.
Hear from past participants in Alternative Spring Break at Northwest. And check out more content:
Our goal is to provide a service-learning opportunity for Northwest students willing to commit themselves to the worthy cause of positively impacting the lives of others. Concepts of social justice, economic disparity, and community outreach are explored through service, education, critical thinking, and leadership.
During Northwest's 2025 spring break, Alternative Spring Break traveled to Florida to assist local community members who had been impacted by hurricane damage, and helped clean up beaches strewn with debris from tropical weather disasters. To prepare for the trip, our members volunteer in the community and fundraiser routinely throughout the school year to offset the personal cost of the trip.
“I looked forward to doing different projects that helped the communities we went to!”
