Alternative Spring Break
Alternative Breaks take groups of students out of their regular surroundings and place them in different environments to engage in community service and experiential learning. As part of short-term service projects, participants are challenged to see and understand difficult social issues such as poverty, literacy, and natural disasters and explore questions of Judaism and social responsibility. For the past five years, Hillel at UCSD has partnered with the American Jewish World Service to offer Alternative Spring Break opportunities to Central America. Former participants painted a school in El Salvador, laid pipes to bring running water to a village in Honduras and helped build a bridge in Guatemala.
