Residential Commons Alternative Breaks
Each March, over spring break, Engage Dallas hosts an alternative break trip incorporating many of the community-identified needs we focus on throughout the year. An alternative break trip is a group of 10 to 12 individuals, including a faculty/staff advisor and 2 site leaders, spending 2 to 7 days serving together around the Engage Dallas community needs locally or in a different geographic location. Some years, trips are in Dallas which allows us to deepen our connection and understanding of the local South and West Dallas community. When we travel outside of the Dallas community, students who participate in the alternative break trip will be able to engage in compare-and-contrast reflections on how the social issue varies by geographic location. Sign ups open at the end of each fall semester.
