Alternative Spring Break (ASB)
& Alternative Fall Break Trips (AFB)

Every year, the Newman Center offers opportunities for students at UNC who want to give-up a week off in order to serve the sick and the poor during Fall and Spring Break. Alternative Break trips have been going on at Newman for the past several years. Newman accommodates the students to go on these trips at no cost to them.

In the past, students have participated in trips doing service work in many different cities. Look below to see what trips are offered this year, and how you can get involved.
