Alternate Spring Break:

Each year, SUNY Oswego students dedicate portions of their winter and spring breaks to engage in direct service to local, domestic, and international communities.

With a wide variety of trips to choose from, you can find Alternative Break experiences that match your academic, personal, and professional interests. In the past, these week-long immersive service trips have partnered with community organizations that support efforts such as animal welfare, disaster relief, youth education, environmental concerns, quality affordable housing, health care, food security, and poverty alleviation.
