Alternative Spring Break (ASB)
The ASB program is one of the components of the Service-Learning Program at College Nine. The ASB provides an opportunity for College Nine and College Ten students to spend their spring break working and learning in either our local community or outside Santa Cruz. Students gain hands-on experience through construction projects and other community work. The trip allows for a more comprehensive understanding of global and social justice issues in a supportive, diverse, and group-oriented environment. In the past our students have traveled to Mexico and New Orleans to partner with local organizations. Students return home with new insight and an enthusiasm for creating change. The application process takes place during the fall quarter. For more information, please contact Abbey Asher at aasher@ucsc.edu.
