OUR PROGRAMS
Weekend Trips
Our weekend trips are offered to all participants who signed up for Alternative Breaks, regardless of whether you are accepted to one of our sites. We partner up with a grass root organization located in Los Angeles to create a meaningful weekend trip focusing on one of the many social justice issues out there. Last year, we went to Skid Row to learn more about homelessness in Los Angeles.
*Due to Covid-19, we will not be providing weekend trips this year.
Spring Break Trips
Our week long spring break trips are offered to a selective number of participants. The commitment level that we expects from our participants span the whole year consisting of the following:
Pre-trip Meetings
Fundraiser


Pre-service Trip

Spring Break Trip
Post-service Trip


as well as...
All AB Meetings

AB Banquet

Every service trip consists of 10-12 individuals:
1-2 Site Leaders
The site leaders are in charge of planning and dealing with the logistics of the service trips, as well as leading weekly educational meetings to ensure that their team is informed of the social issue and the country that they will be going to.
8-10 Participants
UCLA undergraduate student participants provide the team with different perspectives and thus help to carry out the service projects on the trip; they are the backbone of Alternative Breaks.
