Student
Groups
For
18 years, God's Love We Deliver has been a host site for college
students who come from all over the country to provide service
to communities in need, to meet people different than themselves,
to challenge closely-held ideas, and to hone their leadership
skills for the 21st century. Between September and March they
secure housing, find a site, raise the money to pay for the
trip, build their team and have some fun while they do good
work. The trip ends when they roll up their sleeping bags
from the floor of a church, get back on the bus and drive
home.
Started in Nashville
at Vanderbilt University over 20 years ago, Alternative Spring
Break (ASB) is now a national movement. The philosophical
focus is on service and social justice; the process is shaped
by experiential learning: from learning to collective practice
through reflection and then back again.
