Students invited to join Alternative Spring Break

The Mercy Center for Spiritual Life is inviting students to join the Alternative Spring Break and volunteer at locations throughout Rhode Island.

This is the second straight year that Alternative Spring Break will use Salve Regina as a “home base,” doing daily community service entirely within the state of Rhode Island. All meals and transportation will be provided.

Alternative Spring Break will run from Friday, March 7 through Tuesday, March 11. After Tuesday, students will go home for the remainder of their break. This way, the first half of their break will be involved with Alternative Spring Break activities, while also allowing them to spend the second half of their break on vacation.

Up to 15 students will be accepted for this opportunity. Students are invited to attend an informational meeting at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29 in the Mercy Center, and may also contact Matthew Kelly at (401) 341-2227 for more information.
