ASB trips to emphasize reflection and service

By Emily Baer | February 27, 2012

Over the course of 10 days this spring break, 69 Dartmouth students from a range of class years, interests and backgrounds will take part in the Tucker Foundation's Alternative Spring Break program and embark on six different service trips across North America. In addition to participating in community service projects in each of their respective locations, the student-led trips aim to facilitate genuine interaction with the communities they work with and to help students understand how service fits into their lives in the long term, according to Tucker Ward '12, co-leader of the ASB trip that will travel to the Dominican Republican this year. "The point of trips is not making a huge change, but rather expanding your view and coming back frustrated and with the impetus to improve problems within the paradigm," Rena Sapon-White '14, Ward's co-leader, said. Ward and Sapon-White will take 10 students and an advisor with them to a farming community called "Batey Libertad" in the Dominican Republic where they will build two houses, Ward said.
