About

Help Leathernecks Serve Communities through Alternative Spring Break!

Alternative Spring Break offers Leathernecks the chance to make a meaningful impact through service projects in communities across the country. During this week of giving back, students volunteer their time and skills to assist those in need, all while gaining valuable leadership experience.

Students will travel to Memphis, TN from March 9th to 14th, 2025, partnering with Living Lands and Waters to make a meaningful environmental impact. During this Alternative Spring Break, we’ll volunteer our time to clean up local waterways and green spaces, while also exploring the city’s rich history through visits to local museums and attractions.

Your Giving Tuesday gift will help cover travel expenses, accommodations, and project materials, ensuring that more students can take part in this life-changing experience and continue making a difference!
