Alternative Spring Break,
ASB, is a committee in the Student Government Association, SGA, at TexasA&MUniversity. Our mission
is to move enthusiastic, giving students from being heartfelt volunteers toward
becoming active, life-long citizens and leaders for social change, committed to
social justice. We accomplish thisby focusing on social injustices that affect
our world, country or community. Each Spring Break, ASB sends multiple groups of
6-12 students led by two Site Leaders to perform various types of service in
communities that need assistance surrounding a particular social
issue. Once the tripmembers come back to campus, they are challenged to
live out what they have learnedover the break in order to make our own
community a better place.
