Alternative Breaks

About Alternative Breaks

Go all in with Alternative Breaks! The CU Alternative Breaks (AB) program sends teams of college students to engage in meaningful service during their breaks from school. This program provides students with the opportunity to explore the United States while making a difference through service, reflecting upon their experience and creating long-lasting connections with others. We hope you’ll be a part of this experience!
