The Alternative Break program at Utah Valley University provides students with an immersive learning experience by traveling to different communities and engaging with pressing social issues. Our breaks are alternative fall break and spring break trips where students can access social impact opportunities outside of the classroom.
These trips are guided by the insights and expertise of local community partners and are framed around one or more of the Six Pathways of Social Impact: direct service, community-engaged learning and research, social entrepreneurship, policy and governance, community organizing and activism, and philanthropy. The also include integrated training and education on systems and design thinking for better collaboration with communities.
Apply now to participate in an Alternative Break experience! Each trip will represent two Pathways of Social Impact. To be considered, submit your application by Friday, February 7th, 2025.
