YMCA Alternative Spring Break

The YMCA Alternative Spring Breaks (ASB) Program at Virginia Tech provides students with the chance to make a difference during their break from classes. The ASB program gives students a great way to experience different walks of life, to serve in a needy community, and grow in your own personal development. The ASB program opens students up to a new culture different from their whether it is an hour down the road or in another country.

Students have been across the country and beyond our own borders. The ASB program sent its first Alternative Thanksgiving Trip in 2004. The ASB at Virginia Tech is going through change and is expanding the program to better serve the student volunteers and our host communities. In the past year program leaders brought back the international trip, including trips to Guatemala, Sri Lanka, and the Dominican Republic. These changes are only the beginning to the growth of the YMCA ASB Program at Virginia Tech.
