Alternative Spring Break (ASB) is an immersion program that places teams of college students in diverse cultures and communities to engage in community ser
The Volunteer, Service-Learning and Civic Engagement Center serves both the community and the University as the main source for volunteer opportunities and the benefit of academic endeavors and service goals of the community agencies. Volunteer programs at Northwest are beneficial to the development of students and also to the improve the surrounding communities. We offer a wide range of programs that help students become engaged in the community and provide a valuable experience to apply to post-college careers.
The mission of ASB seeks to expose students to diverse cultures and traditions through service and activism, as students are immersed in unique environments. Concepts of social justice, economic disparity, and community outreach are explored through the depths of education, critical thinking and leadership.
