This Spring Break, join with other Auggies to travel to West Virginia!
Over spring break this year, several Augsburg students will travel to West Virginia to work on building projects with Almost Heaven Habitat for Humanity. While working as a team, students will not only serve the community but think about how the experience connects to their own education and neighborhood. Auggies will explore vocational interests while their skills grow. You can be one of these students!
Registration for 2017 Alternative Spring Break (ASB) is open until February 3 on a first-come, first-served basis (with $100 deposit required).
The trip will take place March 11-18, 2017; and the cost is $250—includes transportation, lodging, equipment, and most meals.
To register visit: http://www.augsburg.edu/campusministry/alternativespringbreak/ to download the registration form. The forms and $100 deposit should be turned into Campus Ministry in Foss 104.

Since 2006, Augsburg College’s Campus Ministry has committed to spring break service. These experiences have led students into unfamiliar territory to serve in a different area, reflect on the impact of the experience (both of their work and of what they learned through the people they encounter), and continue to imagine their own lifelong commitment to service. Past trips include New Orleans, Louisiana; Biloxi, Mississippi, and Laredo, Texas, and Mobile, Alabama.
