Mizzou Alternative Breaks (MAB) is a student-run, student-led university organization that sends students all around Missouri and the United States for various length volunteer trips. I can confidently say that MAB was one of the best parts of my college experience. After midterms, every college student typically dreams of relaxing on the beach with a few drinks or going home to reunite with their pets, but MAB volunteers continue their hard work ethic and drive from schoolwork towards serving others all around the United States. Hopefully, these reasons encourage you to join Mizzou's next MAB trip with whatever focus group your heart desires.

MAB trips take you to many locations around the country and allow you to meet different kinds of people from all sorts of communities.

No other volunteer trip is like MAB! A whole week of service and volunteering, with so many heart whelming outcomes.

Open up to others and have them do the same to you
