Mission: Alternative Weekends (AW) is a branch of the SERVE program which seeks to give students the opportunity, through weekend community service trips, to build bonds with the people, the community, and their fellow students
Programs: Participating in Alternative Weekends is a yearlong commitment centered on the community service experiences that occur one weekend a month. AW primarily focuses on providing service projects in Michigan and the surrounding states. Participants learn about and work with a particular community issue at one of the sites throughout the school year. During this immersive living and working experience, students perform services and explore the culture and history of the area. Furthermore, the recurring visits to site allow students to build and maintain long-lasting and impact relationships with the community and community members.
