RCNJ Alternative Spring Break 2011

Students leave behind their daily lives on campus and become immersed in communities grappling with issues as varied as chronic poverty, natural disasters, oppression, inadequate housing, hunger, and environmental damage. In doing so, these students are able to contribute to the community through their hard work, but more so from their increased understanding. The communities in which students are placed benefit from the tangible work completed, but more so from the conviction that someone noticed ... and did something about it. Communities are rallied by the energy and commitment of the students, while many students hail their experiences as fundamentally life-changing and the "best week they've ever had."
