Alternative Spring Break began as a project of HAVOC during the 1993-93 academic year, when 20 students travelled to Miami to work on Hurricane Andrew relief with Habitat for Humanity during their spring break. This year, HAVOC is sponsoring seven trips during the March break, with Hamilton students travelling to North Carolina, Virginia and Florida to work with various national service organizations. Alternative Spring Break aims to increase participants' awareness and concern of social issues while generating a life-long interest in community service.
ElderLife is a senior center as well as an organization that provides services to the elderly such as housing coordination, volunteer opportunities, social activities and outreach.
