Alternative Break Program

What is the Alternative Break Program?  

Clemson University's Alternative Break Program provides a unique opportunity for students to join fellow Tigers to participate in service! During this experience, you will have the opportunity to learn about community issues, serve with local agencies in new areas, and grow in your leadership and active citizenship. This is the perfect opportunity to make your break count, see new places and meet new friends!
