Alternative Fall Break 2018

Mississippi State's Maroon Volunteer Center is partnering with the university's Department of Philosophy and Religion, Division of Student Affairs and College of Arts and Sciences to send a team of students on an Alternative Fall Break trip to Heifer International's Project Ranch in Little Rock, Arkansas! Heifer International is an Arkansas-based, community development-focused nonprofit organization working to resolve poverty and hunger around the world. Heifer's Global Village is a hands-on educational experience where students are challenged to live in modeled developing world conditions. They are given problems to solve—including how to gather enough food for the day—and are required to engage their teamwork and problem solving skills to overcome challenges.
