Alternative Breaks is an opportunity for K-State students to participate in an intensive service experience during your winter, spring, and weekend breaks. Travel to sites around the Midwest where you will work with local residents to learn how communities are addressing pressing social issues.

Breaks are open to K-State undergraduate, graduate, and international students. Participants and site leaders will receive training before the trip.
