Want to volunteer your spring break time in a tropical climate? Are you committed to making a difference in someone else's community? The Student Leadership and Involvement office is looking for students to participate in UAF's 2019 Alternative Spring Break trip.

This trip will allow UAF students to participate in hurricane relief from the effects of Hurricane Irma and Maria.

Next spring marks the 13th year that SLI has held an alternative break. Money that is raised throughout the year gives students the opportunity to go on this trip at a minimal cost to themselves.

If  you are interested in donating to or participating in the 2019 Alternative Spring Break trip, please contact Michael Martins at mwmartins@alaska.edu with questions or comments, or simply to express interest. The application can be found on the Student Leadership and Involvement OrgSync page.
