About Alternative Break Trips:

The Office of Student Leadership and Civic Engagement sponsors Alternative Break trips to provide students with an opportunity to make a difference in the community on a local, national, or global effort.  Students participate in intensive service experiences that provide them an opportunity to make a true difference in the lives of others by giving of themselves.  As former President Bush said, "From now on in America, any definition of a successful life must include serving others."

Alternative Break Trips are offered in March, May, and December and are growing greatly in popularity!

“It is through these experiences that I will value much more the life I have and how much better I have it compared to the less fortunate.”

“From storms to extreme heat and sweating, I had the best time of my life!”

“I can truly say I left Statesboro with a lot to learn about life, I can say now I leave Biloxi with an experience.”

“In the end it was great to look into the house and see how much of a difference we had made on not only the house but the people who own the house.”
