About Us

Southwestern’s alternative break program is part of a national movement, Break Away. Break Away is a national nonprofit organization that supports the development of quality alternative break programs by providing training and information to those interested in creating lifelong active citizens through these intensive service-learning programs.

We love their message: Break away from apathy; break away from the expected; break away from ignorance. Be a part of the movement!
