Alternative Spring Break (ASB)
Alternative Spring Break is an annual initiative for students to engage in a week-long service program! If you, or any peer, student, or group would be interested in participating please contact Danielle Stephenson at dstephen@shepherd.edu.
Due to COVID-19 concerns, Alternative Spring Break for 2022 has been cancelled. There will be two service days on April 1 & 2, 2022 on campus for students to earn service hours. More information coming soon!
