Spring break perspective
Spring break perspective
During spring break 2017, a student-led group, coordinated through VT Engage, partnered with Hurley Community Development Inc., a nonprofit organization working to revitalize Hurley, Virginia, to provide services to low-income families in the area. Participants on the alternative spring break service trip learned about the challenges facing the rural community and assisted community volunteers with projects that ranged from roof repair to painting. The students also worked at clothing and food banks.
