About Alternative Spring Break...
Alternative Spring Break (commonly ASB) is a non-profit volunteer organization of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the University YMCA.
ASB sends U of I students on nationwide service trips four times throughout the year. During their fall, winter, spring, and summer breaks, ASB participants travel throughout the country to learn about and actively combat social justice issues.
Trips concern issues such as: homelessness and poverty; childhood illiteracy; healthcare; environmental issues and much more!
Each trip offers approximately 12 participants and 2 site facilitators a unique, hands on opportunity to make a difference in various communities and the lives of countless individuals.
In preparation for each trip, participants meet weekly to reflect on issues, to promote awareness, to volunteer within the Urbana-Champaign community and to simply get to know one another prior to their week together. We invite all students to participate in ASB. The experience is sure to be a memorable and rewarding way to spend your break.
