2016 Alternative Breaks site leaders applications are open. Alternative Breaks is a student-led group that travels nationally for service trips. Each trip focuses on a social or environmental justice issue and is either one week long during spring break or two weeks in May. Site leaders go through leadership training to organize the trips. It is a great way to get involved and gain leadership experience. Being a site leader is now accepted for course credit. Applications due: Sept. 14 For questions go to www.colorado.edu/volunteer
