Break Away Program
The Break Away alternative spring break program gives students the
chance to engage in local, national and international community
service projects. Johnson State College was a founding chapter of
the Break Away program (which currently has a network of over 100
chapter schools), and since 1991, the JSC Center for Service
Learning has sponsored 84 Break Away trips with 839 participants.
Break Away 2008 will include eight student leaders with six program
issue areas and trips for approximately 40 students, faculty and
staff. Site issues include: environmental, hunger and homelessness,
youth and education, and disaster relief. This
year, JSC is also adding Alternative Weekends, where student leaders
create one-to-two day intensive local service projects that connect
with the full-week Break Away issue areas.
