About Us

How We Started

ASBO was developed in 2005-2006 by students apart of the Stony Brook University Annual Student/Faculty/Staff retreat, and through the lens of the 2006 Year of Community's theme of "Giving."

In realizing the need for Stony Brook to get involved with giving back to the community, a core group of students began to work diligently to create an alternative break program to benefit communities in need while building a spirit and tradition of giving within the University.

Our Mission

Alternative Spring Break Outreach (ASBO) is a student-developed, student-run, community service organization. Our mission is to promote civic engagement, self-reflection, social activism, and lifelong learning. By integrating both educational reflections and discussions along with direct service on the local, regional, and national levels, members are able to experience growth.

Students are immersed in purposeful service trips designed to connect with peers and community members, which provides a unique opportunity for personal growth and mutual awareness.

ASBO offers a unique and memorable experience by providing students the opportunity to experience service outside local service through its week-long service trip to another state in the United States.

Who We Are

First-Year to Seniors and Graduate Students,
