Many students use their spring break to travel south to the sandy beaches of Florida or west to the snowy mountains of Colorado. Students who participate in the Greek Alternative Spring Break (GASB) take a five-day journey and give up their spring break to go to
unlikely places in North America. During GASB, students work to make a difference in communities and develop the combination of knowledge, skills, values and motivation to make that difference. Participants also learn about living their values, leadership, communication, trust, and giving and receiving feedback.
