Honors Alternative Spring Break

A group photo of the 2022 Alternative Spring Break volunteers.

The Honors Program partners with Illinois State University's Center for Community Engagement and Service Learning to offer a customized experience for Honors students. The model of traditional Alternative Spring Break trips is enriched through the application of the Honors Learning Framework.

Students engage in community-building and educational programming prior to the service-learning trip and join together for a week-long experience grounded in civic engagement. This transformational experience combines learning, serving, and socializing, while creating meaningful memories for participants and those who are positively impacted.

Alternative Spring Break Trip Dates

Sunday, March 10th - Saturday, March 16th, 2024

Join us over Spring Break as we travel to Cincinnati, Ohio, to partner with the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition and participate in their Cincinnati Urban Experience program!

We will be volunteering around the city and attending educational activities to better understand the struggles the homeless community is facing.

The cost of the trip is still being calculated, but will be no more than $350, covering the majority of expenses.
