Hunger & Hope students on an educational tour at Stonewall Farm in Keene, NH.
This spring, Alternative Break programming turned its attention towards local opportunities for students to serve, learn, and lead. Usually, Alternative Break programs take students and staff away from Keene, NH, to do a service-learning trip to another part of the country – or world – but with travel restrictions in place, this semester’s programs stayed close to home.
“Meaningful direct service and the opportunity to connect with a diverse group of peers and community members are two of the most impactful aspects of participating in an Alternative Break. We’re lucky that we can experience both without ever leaving our backyard!” said Jessica Gagne Cloutier, director of student involvement.
