Alternative Spring Break- Sweet Homes in Alabama
Announcing this year's Alternative Spring Break Service-Learning Trip
March 14-20, 2010 - Mobile County, Alabama
The past several years, Augsburg students have dedicated their spring break to hurricane recovery work in the Gulf Coast area.This year 40 students will be able to return to the Gulf to help with disaster response and general support work at two sites: Bayou La Batre and Mobile.
Besides working in the community, there will be time for exploring the area. Possible highlights include: Dauphin Island, the shipyard that built the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean, the USS Alabama, eating fresh seafood, and visiting the home of "Forrest Gump".
This service-learning trip is a collaborative effort between Campus Ministry and the Bonner program. We are extremely excited for students to serve, learn, and share their gifts as they experience southern culture and create ways to connect their spring break service experiences back in the Augsburg community.
If interested in learning more (location, details, etc), please consider attending one of two informational sessions: Wednesday, Jan. 13, 8:00 PM (location: TBA) OR Thursday, Jan. 14, 12:00 PM in the Chapel
