Community-engaged break trips provide students with the opportunity to work deeply with community partners around a specific issue, engaging in a week of direct service while also thinking critically and compassionately about root causes and solutions.
For local break trips, participants stay in their current on- or off-campus housing, and commute to their service site each day. For traveling break trips, lodging is typically provided by local community partners and may vary based on the trip. Transportation will be provided.
