In 2009, Campus Philly will host its second Alternative Spring Break. Instead of spending tons of money on airfare, hotels, and tacky souvenirs, why not stay in the place you know and love and help your own community?
ASB is completely free for students from Campus Philly’s partner schools. This includes accommodations, meals, and transportation around Philadelphia.
Each day will be spent with a different Philadelphia nonprofit covering a variety of social issues. These days will be a time to perform direct service, as well as sessions for presentations, group activities, and group reflection. To see more about activities and service projects, click here.
