Start your integration to CU through the Alternative Breaks program! The First-Year Service Experience is a unique service opportunity offered by the Volunteer Resource Center for incoming first-year students. Through collaboration with various local non-profits, this program permits our students to stimulate a positive impact within their community while receiving transformative experiential education. Not only does FYSE provide participants with a greater sense of self, but it also allows for the development of friendships and relationships, constructs networking bridges, confronts social and environmental issues, and highlights the differences you can make through meaningful service. Take advantage of this altruistic and meaningful work all while developing friendships, learning about Boulder and blossoming into new life as CU Buff.
The FYSE is open to in-state, out-of-state and first-year international students. To learn more, review the Alternative Breaks participant expectations. We hope you’ll be a part of this experience!
Program Cost
There is no cost to participate in the FYSE program. Participants will stay in their residence hall rooms and all transportation, food and supplies will be provided by Alternative Breaks.
