Alternative Spring Break
During this weeklong immersion experience, volunteers dedicate their time to rebuild homes, perform outreach, and make a difference to various communities.
This year's Alternative Spring Break has been a success. UT Dallas students traveled to sites in Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Texas to devote their spring break week to volunteer and help various communities.
How do I join?
Information for next year's trip will be available fall 2009. If you have questions please email Monalisa Amidar.
