Looking for an unforgettable Spring Break experience? Consider Augsburg's 2010 Alternative Spring Break, March 14-20: Sweet Homes in Alabama!
Continuing in Augsburg's recent tradition of service in the Gulf Coast area, this year 40 students will return to the Gulf to help with disaster response and general support work at two sites in Mobile County.
1) Mobile, AL – through Habitat for Humanity, help some of the 400 families still living in transitional housing
2) Bayou La Batre – relational service through a local nonprofit for an area which relies heavily on the shrimp industry that has been affected by the hurricanes
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.
Registration Details:
· Registration began January 11 and will continue on a 'first come, first served' basis until filled or January 25
· $100 deposit holds your spot; Total trip cost is $300/person (includes travel, lodging, and most meals)
