College breaks are often thought of as a time to vacation and/or relax. At Saint Rose, students are offered the opportunity to spend their breaks doing good for those in need, or as we call it, an "alternative break".

The trip is lead by at least one student leader who has previously experienced the trip, as well as at least one staff or faculty mentor. Limited partial scholarships are available for students in need and fund-raising support is also provided for those seeking to participate.

Recruiting for the immersion trip happens early in the fall semester and the deadline to apply is December 1, 2022.

Students must apply and be selected in order to participate in the trips.
