Alternative breaks provide an important entry point for young adults into a lifetime of social change work, this report explains how.
Immersive Jewish service-learning occurs when young people provide service for a minimum of a week, typically in a community other than their own. Alternative break programs have engaged thousands of young Jews in tens of thousands of days of service. Through this report, one can ascertain data on how these programs enable volunteers to ask deep questions about what service means to them as well as explore the connections between Judaism and service work.
