Experience Reflections
and Testimonials
Alternative Spartan Breaks are rooted in the relationships fostered between Spartans and outside communities, within trip groups, and throughout the East Lansing community. Below are testimonials from past ASB participants, site leaders, and university partners. They have told their stories to try and convey the impact ASB has had on them, and how they have taken their ASB experiences into their lives.
“I recently received and accepted an invitation to serve in the Peace Corps as an English Education and Community Development Facilitator in Mongolia. Reflecting on the experiences that led me here, my time with Serve901 in Memphis last spring break was a defining part of my path. Working with refugee children and witnessing the impact of community-centered service solidified my commitment to global service and gave me invaluable insights that greatly strengthened my Peace Corps application.”

“Thank you for your support and guidance through ASB. This experience has been incredibly impactful, and I’m grateful for how it’s shaped my readiness to take on this next chapter.”
