The Alternative Break Leadership Experience (ABLE) Program at Concordia is designed to connect Concordia students to shared experiences that foster personal growth, mutual awareness, and civic engagement. Alternative breaks challenge students to critically think and react to problems faced by members of the communities they are involved with. Being immersed in diverse environments enables participants to experience, discuss, and understand social issues in a significant way.

An alternative break places teams of students in communities to engage in community service and experiential learning. This intensive immersive experience is designed to create active citizens, individuals who make the community a priority when making life choices and have a global definition of the term ‘neighbor.’

To support the expansion of programs like this at Concordia University, check out details on all experience options and donate to the Alternative Break Leadership Experience fund!
