Alternative School Breaks, also known as ASB, allows for students to spend their vacation time serving their communities. One of UMBC's trips involved a group providing service to The Arc of Carroll County. The Arc works with and advocates for people with mental and developmental disabilities. During spring break students were allowed to see the inner workings of this foundation, and volunteer with a one-on-one client for the week. Check out the link for an article from the Spring 2010 excursion below!

If you are interested in participating in an ASB trip, contact Cami Sotela, Student Director of ASB, at sotelac1@umbc.edu :)
