MiBreaks is designed to provide students with opportunities to participate in meaningful community service learning experiences throughout Michigan. During each semester, students spend a weekend of service addressing a particular social, cultural, or environmental issue. All trips are issue-based, meaning each trip is based around a specific topic in partnership with a university department. Through active engagement, critical reflection, and analysis, students will gain a deeper understanding of the issue and community in which they serve. Ultimately, students will be motivated to engage as active citizens in their own communities and develop a deeper appreciation for the communities we serve.
