The Alternative Breaks Committee offers Winter, Spring and Weekend Break Trips in addition to International (or Summer Breaks Trips.
Winter Breaks Trips typically take place right after the first of the year, always sometime in the break period between first and second semester. Destination are generally in warmer weather regions but may not be based on the issue-center of the particular trip. The application for Winter Break Trips is typically available in early November...
Spring Break Trips are timed to coincide with the UW Spring Break each spring semester. Spring Break Trips are our most popular (generally we get approximately 3 applications for each available spot in our Spring Break Trips offerings). Application for Spring Break Trips is typically available four to six week prior to the UW Spring Break.
International Trips (Summer Breaks) typically take place right after the end of the spring semester and are frequently more than one week in length. The application for International Trips is usually available approximately six weeks before the last class day, however the timing of Spring Break can effect the decision on when to make the application available.
Acceptance and participation in a Winter or Spring Break Trip percludes future participation in additional Winter or Spring Break Trips unless you are an active Alternative Breaks Committee member. Participation in a Winter or Spring Break Trip does NOT perclude your participation in an International Trip.
