Alternative Breaks

Travel the World and Give Back Along the Way!

Alternative Breaks is focused on giving students a global travel experience, with built in service components. Each year the UTSA Service Branch supports 2-3 trips that line up with Fall, Winter, or Spring Breaks. These trips are an incredible opportunity to travel internationally, make lifelong friends, and make a difference.
