Alternative Spring Break is a week-long service retreat, lead by UMBC students! This retreat engages students in social issues in the community and challenges students to explore how communities are tackling them. The Homelessness Trip, in particular, will be working to address social issues surrounding homelessness in the Baltimore area. We will be working with various nonprofit organizations in the city to provide resources, meals, and services to those in need. We also strive to learn about the underlying causes of homelessness and how we can facilitate real change both now and in the future! Your donation will fund food, lodging, and transportation for students engaging in this week-long cause. A donation of only $25 can fund almost half of a student's trip cost!
