Alternative Spring Break (ASB) at the University of Illinois is a program that provides college students the opportunity to immerse themselves in an issue through volunteering, and then use their new passion to create a more engaged citizenry. ASB is sending you a proposal in hopes that you will consider us for funding in order to further our mission. ASB motivates its participants to combat apathy among the other members of our generation. ASB will promote lifelong civic participation among college students in several ways.
