Participate in Alternative Break Program

CLD student member participates in the Alternative Break program

Travel. Meet new people. Make an impact. 

The Alternative Break Program provides opportunities for students to travel domestically and abroad to address social challenges. Our trips immerse you in a new environment, providing an experiential understanding of challenging social issues. 

You'll return to campus with the skill set and experience you need to lead direct service efforts in your communities. Further, Alternative Break trips prepare future business leaders to incorporate civic values into the culture of business.

Want to participate in the Alternative Break Program? To get started, register as a member of the CLD. Learn more under the trip application tab, below.
