Cal Poly’s Alternative Breaks program is heading for the BIG APPLE on Sunday! 13 students and 1 staff member will travel to New York City to work alongside the New York City Food Bank. The trip’s focus is to work with issues of hunger and homelessness in the city!
Before we depart I recently ran across something I think truly embodies Alternative Breaks -
"Kaizen" is the Japanese philosophy that states great change is often the result of many small steps.
The impact of Alternative Breaks, both on agencies and students, is the result of many small steps. The work students collectively contribute to local agencies may be hard to measure, besides in quantifiable means, but never doubt that these students are making an impact on the sites they volunteer at, just as the sites are forever marked in the hearts of the volunteers!
Follow us this week as we share our experiences in The City That Never Sleeps!

Cal Poly Alternative Breaks provides an opportunity for students to lend a helping hand in our global communities and address humanitarian issues through strong direct service, educational workshops, and group reflection during summer, winter, and spring breaks.
