YOU NEED PARTICIPANTS for AWB/ASB

Alternative Spring Break is making one last recruitment push.  Please forward this message for to your academic advisors, club presidents, and friends.  WE HAVE GREAT SITE LEADERS, NOW WE NEED GREAT PARTICIPANTS!! :)

achieve social justice? When was the last time you were immersed in an
environment different than your own?

Alternative Spring Break is a student-run organization that sends
students across the country and around the world to volunteer during
summer, winter and spring break. This year, we are proud to offer over
20 trips that deal with a range of social issues from public health to
indigenous rights.

Alternative Spring Break program by going to www.asb.msu.edu.

Participant applications for the 2010-2011 Alternative Spring Break

Site Leader Placements

Thank you for meeting with myself and my fellow ASB Executive Board members!

Since proper and well-thought out ASB Site Leader placements are essential to successful trips we are going to be taking the weekend to think about where each of you will fit best!!  As such, we will let you all know by next Wednesday (10/20) on the status of your placement within Alternative Spring (& Winter) Break 2010-11.
