Alternative Break
Beans and Rice is a unique alternative break site. The program combines workshops on community development with working in the community through our programs. These workshops combine didactic presentation of material with learning circles to develop an understanding of what community is, how it can be developed, and the role of individuals working to develop community.
For those looking for placement in Appalachia with at risk children, with low-income communities, and/or ongoing community development, our site is suited for your needs. You will be working both with children and adults in a variety of settings and projects. We offer a broad range of opportunities to meet the diversity of skills and interests brought by university service groups.
To arrange spring, summer, fall, or winter alternative breaks with Beans and Rice, Inc., connect with Executive Director Eric Bucey on LinkedIn or call 540-980-411.
