ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL BREAK!
ASB trips are student-run, week long service engagement trips designed to challenge students and combat civic issues underlying larger societal concerns such as homelessness, intellectual disabilities, animal rights, health care, and the environment. The ASB trips included for Spring 2012 are:
The Arc trip involves students serving the mentally and physically disabled population at the Arc of Carroll County.
The Environmental trip has a focus on sustainable living in urban environments.
The TEAR trip (Through the Eyes of a Refugee) serves the refugee population of Baltimore.
The Animal Advocacy trip explores several aspects of animal rights and humane treatment of animals.
The Day in the Life trip focuses on the homeless population of Baltimore City.
The cost of each trip is approximately $75.00 to cover expenses such as food and gas during the trip. Join us on Facebook for updated information on UMBC's ASB trips. Look us up under "UMBC Alternative Spring Break (ASB)".
