Break Away®: the Alternative Break Connection, Inc. is a national nonprofit organization that supports the development of quality alternative break programs by providing training and information primarily to colleges, universities, and nonprofit organizations interested in creating lifelong active citizens through these intensive service-learning programs. “We showed that trail who was boss!” TIGH LEIBEL, TIMBER LAKE, S.D.
