The Civic and Community Engagement Office (CCE) is looking for faculty and staff members to serve in an essential role as trip advisers for the 2018–2019 Alternative Break trip experiences. The trip adviser is not expected to plan or organize the logistics; student site leaders take care of the coordination. Advisers simply assist student site leaders in carrying out the logistics of the experience and solving problems. Serving as a trip adviser affords faculty and staff members the opportunity to build strong connections with community-minded students and volunteer alongside them during a weekend or one-week trip experience. 

The following Alternative Break trip experiences are in need of faculty-staff trip advisers: 

• Alternative Fall Break: Cultivating Empathy and Embracing Diversity through Refugee Resettlement in Buffalo, New York; November 9–11, 2018
• Alternative Spring Break: Understanding Alternative Measures to the Juvenile Justice System in Columbus, Ohio; March 23–30, 2019
• Alternative Spring Break: Shifting Principles and Practices Related to Housing and Food Policy in Cleveland, Ohio; March 23–30, 2019
• Alternative Summer Break: Collaborative Approaches to Securing Food for All in Baltimore, Maryland; May 19–26, 2019

If you are interested in learning more, please complete the online interest form and review the trip adviser section of the CCE website.

A special thank-you to Amy Pedlow, Lauren Turner, and Jo Yudess for serving as trip advisers during 2017–2018 Alternative Break trip experiences.
