Chesapeake, VA resident Dana Panganiban spent spring break serving others through James Madison University's Alternative Spring Break Program. Panganiban, a Nursing major, traveled to Twentynine Palms, CA to volunteer with Joshua Tree.

The student-led ASB trips took place from March 5-12. Each trip focused on a social issue, such as homelessness, resettlement, environmentalism or community wellness, in a specific region. Almost 250 students embarked on 25 spring break trips around the country and world. The students spent the week living simply, focused on service in their destination community but also on teamwork and reflection within their group.
