Alternative Spring Break
A week-long immersion program
Spend a week with your peers making a difference in places like Utah, California or Mexico. Each year's destination is different, but your mission remains the same – helping others in meaningful ways.
Participating in Linfield's Alternative Spring Break program allows you to:
- Take steps toward becoming an active and empowered citizen
- Learn about the importance of nonprofits, civic engagement, service-learning and philanthropy
- Learn about a social issue, from root causes to related current events
- Grow your sense of community
- Explore your own identity as an agent of social change
- Develop multicultural awareness
- Develop and strengthen skills to help your future, including interpersonal, communication, working in groups and problem-solving
- Explore your own values and perceptions of the world, and engage in meaningful dialogue with peers
