Alternative Break Trip
Join us to help rebuild the homes of those impacted by natural disasters
Are you ready to take advantage of your break? Are you excited to get off the beaten path and see a city from the view of those who live there? Be a part of something bigger than yourself! Alternative Breaks are fully immersive and highly organized service trips for students and young adults that allow them to directly impact a community while learning more deeply about the issues surrounding that community and the larger world. Many Houma residents are still living in houses that are unsafe after the Hurricane destroyed the area in 2021. Come join us for a week-long trip to serve those who need it most!
