Interested in leading a group at ASB? Apply to be a Site Facilitator. Site Facilitators partner with another student and lead a team of 15 ASB participants. You'll develop leadership skills, meet new people, and enjoy a life changing experience.

Faculty and Staff - Want to go on Alternative Spring Break? Each team has one faculty or staff person. You are not asked to lead the team just participate like a student in the activities, service project, and team reflections. This is a great opportunity to volunteer and get to know students outside the classroom.
