Alternative Spring Breaks

We are excited to share with you that the MATC Volunteer Center student coordinators have organized five alternative spring break trips, which will take place over MATC’s spring break (March 14th - March 21st). Alternative breaks are wonderful opportunities for students to volunteer their time, contribute and learn about real community need and issues all over the country.
