There are 2 spaces left on Elon Hillel’s 2011 Alternative Spring Break to Los Angeles.
We will be working with Jewish Funds for Justice, and will be hanging out with students from Tufts University who are doing their ASB at the same time.
Where will we be staying? At the American Jewish University in Los Angeles, on a rustic hilltop with panoramic views of the Los Angeles area.
Where will we be working? For three days we will be volunteering with LA Family Housing, though we don’t know our work assignment yet. Students in the past have done construction at a homeless center, run an after-school programs for kids, and run workshops for adults. We may be creating a sustainable garden to allow residents and clients access to organic produce. http://www.lafh.org/
Will we have any free time? We will have free time in the evenings once scheduled programming ends (usually around 9pm). Past groups indicated that the campus location made it very easy to travel to many locations for evening activities.
What will be the cost? We are hoping to bring the cost to less than $500/person including airfare and most expenses.
