| Our Mission | A Collaborative Effort | Objectives | ||||
| The Alternative Spring Break (ASB) Program exposes SJSU students to diversity, cultural immersion, and political and economic differences in an alcohol and drug free environment during Spring Break. Students work side by side with local residents on grassroots projects to address critical, unmet needs on domestic and international service trips during spring break. The intensive cultural immersion and hands-on service exposes students to the realities of community development and promotes fuller comprehension of their place in the global community. | The San Jose State University Alternative Spring Break Program is a unique partnership between Associated Students' Cesar E. Chavez Community Action Center and San Jose State University’s Center for Service Learning, MOSAIC Cross-Cultural Center, and Student Health Center |
Service : SJSU students volunteer their time and services, working shoulder to shoulder with citizens in community-driven projects that transform homes, local schools, community centers, and public buildings. Education : Speakers, workshops, and reading material help students explore and understand the politics, economics, history, and social issues facing particular communities. Culture : Students travel throughout the country and throughout the world, exposing themselves to various customs, languages, cultures, and ways of life. |
