And we're off!!!
UMD's Alternative Spring Break is hitting the road!
250 student participants and 20 staff advisors making up 17 trips will hit the road to 16 locations this weekend and spread out across the continent to spend a week doing immersion service experiences.
We're using planes, trains, and automobiles to help over 25 agencies by doing 7100 hours of service and educational activities through the week. The first trips depart Saturday at 3:30am and our last trip heads out Sunday morning. All trips arrive back the following weekend, most likely exhausted, but definitely exhilirated at the experience.
Receptions for our ASB teams and local Terp alums will be held in NYC and Washington, DC. (If you're interested in attending, please contact Terry Zacker at tzacker@umd.edu or Mei-Yen Hui at meiyen@umd.edu.)
Individual trips will be blogging from the road, and you can read their updates by clicking on any of the links on the left side of this page.
Happy Spring Break!! Go forth and serve!
