MRISJ offers BSU students the opportunity to build social justice skills and knowledge through civic engagement, direct service and critical reflection. The experience is student-led and explores a variety of social justice issues, and the ways students can take individual and collective action to make advance social justice. Activities will include advocacy, education and service.
What is Alternative Break?
BSU student team leaders, along with BSU faculty or staff serving as learning partners, work to prepare participants for the week-long experience through a series of pre-trip meetings that include team-building exercises, issue-specific education and critical reflection.
Applications are now open for 2027 Alternative Break! The priority deadline is Friday, October 23rd by 5pm - applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until all spots are filled!
