Alternative Spring Break Program
Through participation in the Alternative Spring Break (ASB) program, A-B Tech students have an opportunity to see firsthand some of the social issues that create situations where families are without safe, decent and affordable housing; while also getting to impact the lives of families by helping to build a home.
The program aims to demonstrate that college students of today are the change of tomorrow, and that their commitment to social problems will be the sustaining force in the fight against issues like that of poverty housing.
Participants:
- Develop hands on skills.
- Develop new friendships.
- See the impact their work is having on a community.
- Learn more about poverty issues and how to help address them.
- Visit new areas of the community.
