This book constitutes a guide for student and staff leaders in
alternative break (and other community engagement, both domestic
and international) programs, offering practical advice, outlining
effective program components and practices, and presenting the
underlying community engagement and global learning theory. Readers
will gain practical skills for implementing each of the eight
components of a quality alternative break program developed by
Break Away, the national alternative break organization. The book
advances the field of student-led alternative breaks by identifying
the core components of successful programs that develop active
citizens. It demonstrates how to address complex social issues,
encourage structural analysis of societal inequities, foster
volunteer transformation, and identify methods of work in mutually
beneficial partnerships. It emphasizes the importance of
integrating a justice-centered foundation throughout alternative
break programs to complement direct service activities, and
promotes long-term work for justice and student transformation by
offering strategies for post-travel reorientation and continuing
engagement. The authors address student leadership development,
issue-focused education, questions of power, privilege, and
diversity, and the challenges of working in reciprocal partnerships
with community organizations. They offer guidance on fundraising,
budget management, student recruitment, program structures, the
nuts and bolts of planning a trip, risk management, health and
safety, and assessment and evaluation. They address the
complexities of international service-learning and developing
partnerships with grassroots community groups, non-governmental and
nonprofit organizations, and intermediary organizations. For new
programs, this book provides a starting point and resource to
return to with each stage of development. For established programs,
it offers a theoretical framework to reflect on and renew practices
for creating active citizens and working for justice.
