The pictures below are from different alternative spring break trips. The Alternative Break Program allows IU students to travel to communities to engage in service relating to social issues, such as poverty, hunger, homelessness and the environment.

Students in Nicaragua volunteered with Orphanage Outreach, an organization that provides opportunities to orphaned, abandoned, and disadvantaged children.
Students in New York City take in the sights of Times Square. During the week, they volunteered with Homes for the Homeless, The Bowery Mission and Help USA. Their tasks included serving dinner at a soup kitchen and helping at an afterschool program.
Students who volunteered with the Everglades and Biscayne National Parks spent their “free day” on South Beach in Miami. For their service, they cleaned up beaches for sea turtles to lay their eggs and removed invasive, exotic plants.
Students in Peru take time to sand ski during their “free day”. The majority of their week was spent volunteering with Coprodeli USA, a non-profit organization that aids Peruvian families. With the help of volunteers, Corprodeli is able to provide for these families’ fundamental needs, promote education and job training, and develop self-sustaining community programs.
