How do interviews work?
Applicants rank their issue preference (choosing from Youth & Education, Health & Aging, HIV/AIDS, Urban Poverty, Rural Poverty, Environment, Native American, Border & Immigration, and Domestic Violence) and are placed in issue groups by the ASB lead team. Site leaders place participants in a group after a round of interviews in early November. Because each trip’s leaders choose their participants, there are no overall criteria for application that apply to ASB as a whole. However, successful candidates generally display a strong interest in the issue and site, are cooperative in group settings, and are committed to participating fully in the Alternative Spring Break experience, including pre-, during-, and post-break activities.
