Alternative Spring Break to DC: March 8 -13

Want to spend your Spring Break in a meaningful way?

Take a 4-day trip to Washington DC, where you will participate in a volunteer camp with the Youth Services Opportunity Project (YSOP), an organization that was founded in 1983 that aims to help eliminate societal problems by getting youth involved in making the necessary small actions that change peoples' lives, like volunteering through direct service to eliminate hunger and homelessness.

In addition to service each day, you will have the opportunity to take in some of the sights of the D.C. metro area. The total cost for the trip is $300 with all meals and activities included (amazingly priced!).

- Informational Meeting January 21, 2009 at 8:30pm in the DellPlain Hall Main Lounge
