BreakOut!
BreakOut! projects provide alternative school break opportunities and destinations. Open to all, volunteers seek to address critical human needs around the world by working in struggling communities. A variety of materials are utilized to enhance learning during and after the BreakOut! project in an effort to provide spiritual, cultural, and educational growth. This experience is to foster a deeper understanding & committment to social justice.
A few examples of past BreakOut! project destinations are Havana, Cuba; St. Louis, Missouri, & Andros Island in the Bahamas.
