Alternative Service Breaks Executive Board Applications

Stephanie Jackson

Alternative Service Breaks is recruiting for our 2023-2024 Executive Board, and applications are closing soon!

If you haven’t heard of us, ASB is a student org on campus that sends students out of the state and out of the country during school breaks (e.g. Spring Break, Winter Break) to explore new places and participate in asset-based community service. Most recently, we sent a groups of students to help build houses in the Dominican Republic and to help with environmental cleanup in New Orleans over Spring Break!

The new Alternative Service Breaks Executive Board will consist of eight positions. Each position and a brief description of its responsibilities are listed below. If you have questions about the roles and responsibilities of any position on ASB Exec, please reach out to our current President, Neha Rajan, at nrajan34@gatech.edu. Joining our Executive Board is a great leadership opportunity, as you will get experience in organizing and coordinating upcoming trips and participants. No prior experience in leadership OR with Alternative Service Breaks is required, and as a board member you are not expected to attend the trips (though you are always welcome to).
