About Alternative Breaks

Who We Are

Mizzou Alternative Breaks (MAB) is a student-led program that sends students across the United States and abroad to serve communities in need. Trips go out over Thanksgiving, Winter, Spring, Summer, and weekend breaks. The program is completely student-led, meaning all participants who go on trips, site leaders who plan trips, and executive board members who oversee the management of trips are Mizzou undergrad or graduate students.

Our Mission

Mizzou Alternative Breaks (MAB) is a service program designed to cultivate active citizenship through domestic and international service experiences. We aim to help students gain a wider perspective of the world and grow within their community.
