Since 1975, the Alternative Breaks Program has focused on providing immersion experiences for Georgetown students of all backgrounds to delve into understanding the specific culture, challenges, and opportunities facing host and partner communities. As students return to these communities year after year, they build and sustain long-term relationships with community partners, while benefiting both the trip participants and the communities visited.
