For some Seawolves Spring Break is not equivalent to time off and relaxation, but hard work and dedication as they participate in the Alternative Spring Break Outreach program.

This year, 78 Stony Brook students in the program volunteered in Nashville, Tennessee to help in community gardens, local food banks, and farms and community education projects.

ASBO, as it is known on campus, is a student-developed, student-run community service organization that strives to promote civic engagement and social action by involving students to “give back” their Spring Break in favor of contributing to community-based projects.

In one week, these hard working Seawolves served with 12 different programs and contributed a total of 1,574 hours of service to the Nashville community.
