Reach Out Spring Break Trips

The spring break service-learning trips provide a unique means for integrating academic learning about international development issues with first-hand experience in developing countries. The trips facilitate hands-on participation with organizations abroad attempting to combat the problems faced by people in the developing world, including poverty, environmental degradation, inadequate health care and education services and others. We hope that through their experiences on spring break trips, students will return with increased understanding of the culture, lifestyle, and political and economic systems of the country they visited, and that they may acquire an interest in sustainable development and social justice issues pertaining to the developing world in general.
