Staff and Graduate Assistants - Did you know that you have the opportunity to take part in an Alternative Spring Break experience?
Alternative Spring Breaks are unique volunteer experiences in which a group of students and one professional (Resident Scholar) travel to another community and volunteer with a non-profit organization over spring break. Serving as a Resident Scholar is an incredible professional development opportunity and provides an unparalleled way to connect with students outside of the office or classroom. Another bonus, Resident Scholars get to go for free!
For Spring Break, we are in need of two Resident Scholars to attend our breaks so that we can send our student groups out to volunteer. One group will work with a non-profit that will be doing natural disaster clean-up and the other will be working with a non-profit focusing on children’s health and family care! If you are interested, please apply through this link! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Alternative Breaks Coordinator (kasiethompson@georgiasouthern.edu or 912-478-0010) with any questions or for more information!
