Alternative Spring Break Service Trip

This year the Chaplain's Office has teamed up with the Office of Residence Life, Office of Diversity, and the Dean of Students Office to send students on a week long service trip to Washington, DC.  The trip will be March 1-7, 2009.

Mission of Trip

The mission of this trip is to provide students with a quality service-learning experience that not only educates them on the topics of hunger, homelessness and HIV/AIDs but will allow them to become more engaged community members on their return to Elizabethtown College.  It is our hope that each student will grow and develop over the course of the trip and when they return they have been challenged and eager to be an agent of change.

Costs of the Trip

We are striving to make the trip affordable for students. Currently the fee is $175.00 which covers lodging, transportation, and food for the week.  Particpants wishing to go out to dinner or buy souveniers must bring their own money for those purchases.  The fee may change depending on the costs of transportation.  We will begin taking applications in the Fall of 2008.
