Alternative Break

Alternative Break Logo

Are you a Sac State student looking for that ultimate winter/spring break experience? Looking for an opportunity to let your leadership, teamwork, communication, or organization skills shine? Want to boost your resume or graduate school application with community service hours? Or just want to share your Sac State pride? Then check out Alternative Break, offering short-term, community-based service projects.

Through Alternative Breaks Sac State students provide much needed service to diverse communities, while building skills and great friendships. It’s also a great way to break out and see new places, people, and perspectives.

Alternative Break is a short term commitment with long term benefits. You can choose to work just one day or a whole week, depending on the length of the Alternative Break program. Alternative Break is a great opportunity to network with strong community based organizations; develop personal and professional skills; connect with your campus and local community; and it looks good on your resume.

Sign up as a group or an individual, and work together as a team with your Sac State peers to make a difference in the Sacramento region. All majors and experience levels welcome.

Sacramento State Faculty and Staff: Interested in joining Sac State students in an Alternative Break? Find out how you can get involved in a full day volunteer service project by attending an information session.
