MSU ALTERNATIVE SPARTAN BREAKS (ASB)
Want to spend quality time with service-focused undergraduates? MSU Alternative Spartan Breaks (ASB) sends quality service trips during winter/spring/weekend breaks. Trips consist of 12 Spartans: 11 undergraduates with 2 chosen site leaders and one University Partner. MSU Alternative Breakers SERVE with community organizations, LEARN about social issues, ENGAGE with other Spartans and different cultures, and REFLECT on root causes of social issues, personal values, and what it means to be an active citizen. The cost for ASB trips range from $225 to $325, plus flight, if applicable. There are funding options. For more information, visit the ASB website here or contact Tina Houghton at hought17@msu.edu or 517-432-3793.
