REACH Alternative Breaks is an alternative break organization at Christopher Newport University.
REACH stands for Raising Educational Awareness through Compassion and Humanity. REACH was established 2010 and has continuously grown each year! Our focus every year is to build trip experiences for Fall Break, Spring Break, and hopefully an international trip in the summer. Our organization works in both rural and urban settings and seeks to help our communities and build enduring relationships with those communities. Students who participate in our trips will have the chance to learn about different communities, build lasting friendships, and help those in need.
Raising Education Awareness through Compassion and Humanity (REACH) Alternative Breaks mission is to provide the CNU community an opportunity for students to participate in service trips during academic breaks in local and regional communities. REACH Alternative Breaks strives to promote active citizenship by engaging in social justice topics through service, education, and reflection.
