UTSA’s Service Branch is here to connect our Trailblazers with meaningful ways to give back to our community, engage with community partners, and support travel, both domestic and abroad, for Alternative Breaks Humanitarian Trips.
Whether you need service hours for a class, are looking to lead a non-profit in the future, or want to give back globally, we are here to help you give back.

Alternative Breaks is an opportunity to travel with your friends and other students to serve either nationally or internationally. Last spring we served in New Orleans, LA! Other past trips have included serving in orphanages in Ecuador, with HOPE Humanitarian in the Dominican Republic, at an elephant sanctuary in Thailand, and building a home for a family in Cambodia!
This year we are planning trips over Fall Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break. Fill out the form below to receive emails with more information about each of these trips!
We’d love to have you as a member of our service team! All you have to do is sign up at the links in the calendar then come and volunteer with us! If you’d love to help plan service opportunities – consider joining UTSA for the 2027-2028 school year. Applications will open in Mid-March!
This event is all about our motto “Blazers Give Back.” Each year we seek community partners and local residents who have service projects for us to help with. We then gather on and send dozens of volunteers out to the community to make a difference. Its our way of saying thank you to St. George, and its amazing people, for all that they do to support Trailblazer Nation.
