The Alternative Spring Break (ASB) program began in 2000 with 12 students who engaged in meaningful service during their spring break week. In 2013, over 140 students participated in twelve trips at various sites across the United States.

During Suffolk’s March 9-15, 2014 spring break, the S.O.U.L.S. Center will be organizing ten trips for Suffolk students. Teams of 12 students, accompanied by University staff and faculty members, will engage in work related to social justice issues, such as poverty relief, environmental conservation, LBGTQ advocacy and community development. All participants will also be required to attend weekly meetings during the spring semester.

Trip details and applications will be available on September 9, 2013. Applications will be due on October 9, 2013.
