Florida Alternative Breaks (FAB) offers the opportunity to do service in a location outside of Gainesville while learning about a particular issue in-depth and creating lasting friendships with your fellow trip members. Although participation in a FAB trip is very rewarding, it also requires commitment and dedication from all involved. Sample topics includes Sustainable Agriculture, Sustainable Ecotourism, and Environmental Preservation, among many other topics.
