Description

Spring Break in Appalachia was the first alternative spring break program at Georgetown University. Begun in 1975, it is a student-run program that sends small groups of students to community service sites in the Appalachian region of Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia during spring break each year. Students provide volunteer labor on projects in disadvantaged communities and learn about culture and life in Appalachia.
