Applications are still being accepted for the 2025 Alternative Spring Break from March 16-21 in Chicago, Illinois. Alternative Spring Breaks give students an opportunity to gain experience about the unique needs of an area and travel that that location to volunteer for a week. This year we will travel to Chicago to volunteer with organizations that serve causes related to youth, education, poverty and homelessness. The trip cost is $175 per person and includes transportation, lodging and food. Applications are due by 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 22. Applications for the trip may be dropped off in the Student Engagement & Belonging office in 216 Rhatigan Student Center or emailed to civicengagement@wichita.edu. For questions, email civicengagement@wichita.edu or call 316-978-7016. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to apply.
