Hurricane Harvey – Alternative Spring Break

About The Program

NECHAMA will be hosting an Alternative Spring Break in Texas during from February through April in and around the greater Houston area.

Rather than the traditional Spring Break, students can help provide hope and comfort to storm-affected families after the historic floods caused by Hurricane Harvey. Alternative spring break trips allow students to serve the Houston area in a meaningful way. They allow students to travel, meet new people, and feel the satisfaction that comes from working to improve communities — and lives.

Students will work with NECHAMA staff providing home-rebuilding services to storm-affected families and communities.

Unlike our traditional volunteer opportunities, NECHAMA Alternative Spring Breaks cost $500 per participant. Please note – transportation to/from Houston is not included.
