Alternative Spring Breaks @ Stanford
Service. Learning. Social Change.

Alternative Spring Breaks (ASB) @ Stanford are immersive service-learning programs that expose students to pressing social and cultural issues through community engagement, experiential education, direct service, group discussions, assigned readings, and reflective activities. The program’s vision is to empower students to become informed advocates for social change—locally, nationally, and globally.

ASB is a student-led Voluntary Student Organization (VSO) at Stanford University and an affiliate of the Haas Center for Public Service. As a proud Break Away Chapter Program, ASB would not be possible without the generous support of ASSU Special Fees.

Impact
Transforming students into lifelong advocates for social issues.

ASB programs have inspired students to remain engaged with the social and cultural issues they explore—leading to the creation of student groups, the pursuit of new academic paths, and even long-term career shifts rooted in public service and social advocacy.

History
The first ASB trip took place in 1987, organized by staff at what was then the Public Service Center (now the Haas Center for Public Service). As student interest grew, ASB evolved into a registered, student-run organization. In 1996, a winter-quarter course was added to enhance learning ahead of the spring break trips.

By the late 2000s, ASB expanded its reach:

In 2008, Impact Abroad launched, offering global service-learning trips during the summer.

In 2012, ThanksGiving Back was introduced as a new opportunity during Thanksgiving break.

At its peak, ASB offered up to 18 courses and trips per year, continuing to be a transformative experience for hundreds of Stanford students.

Recognition
ASB has earned national acclaim from Break Away, including awards for:

Alternative Spring Break Program of the Year

Curriculum-Based Alternative Break of the Year

At Stanford, ASB was honored with the Lyons Service Award in 1998 and an Outstanding Achievement Award from the Dean of Students in 2002. The program celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2012, marking a legacy of impact and leadership in public service education. In 2025, ASB was recognized by Stanford Report for the incredible programs and opportunities it provides to the student community.

We are a space where visual artists, writers, designers, poets, and makers of diverse backgrounds gather and create. We are primarily interested in art projects that directly interact and engage with students and bring art and arbitrariness to all places on Stanford's campus. To create arbitrarily is to embrace. We aim to be a space where students can tap into their creative urges in collaboration with others. We are driven by message rather than medium, allowing every story to manifest in whatever form it calls for.

We are a space for creatives to try each others’ mediums, exchange artistic hats, and converse in a collective language. Our goal is to foster interpersonal connection both within our group and within the larger student body through projects that encourage engaging with public spaces and exploring our campus.
