Alternative Spring Break 2014 for Faculty & Staff

November 13, 2013

The Alternative Spring Break (ASB) program to Monte Cristi, Dominican Republic, is a one week service learning trip in partnership with Outreach360.

“Outreach360 is a non-profit organization and has been working with disadvantaged children in the Dominican Republic since 1994. Outreach360’s vision is a transformed world where every child is adequately prepared for college or gainful employment upon reaching adulthood, enabling them to live a life of choice. Each child will become an active citizen, committed to serving those less fortunate, and
be a friend of the environment. “ (Outreach360, 2013)
