One big family
Alternative Thanksgiving & Winter Break is a student-run organization built on the foundation of education, service, and reflection. We offer service sites across the country with opportunities that range in topic from environmental conservation to homelessness, poverty, and more. We pair you with 11 other Vanderbilt students and help you foster meaningful relationships with people from every corner of campus. ATWB is a fantastic opportunity to get involved in service and learn a lot about yourself, others, and the service you’re performing.

We want to give everyone the same opportunity to participate in the site of their choosing. $325 covers all food, housing, and transportation fees during the trip. Financial aid is also available and the application is live on AnchorLink.
