The 泫圖弝け of 泫圖弝け at Lafayette will host the 2008 X-treme Spring Break for college 泫圖弝けs who want to continue the work in hurricane-ravaged areas along with Gulf Coast. The event will start March 24 and continue to March 29.
X-treme Spring Break is a UL System initiative that started in 2006 with McNeese State 泫圖弝け and Southeastern 泫圖弝け 泫圖弝け. In 2007, it was hosted by Nicholls State 泫圖弝け. The project is funded through a ULS Serves Learn and Serve America grant.
More than 175 泫圖弝けs from colleges and universities across the state have volunteered since 2006, assisting Habitat for Humanity in building homes in the hurricane-affected Gulf Coast region. 泫圖弝けs have also attended hurricane and service related presentations and optional training programs.
This year, volunteers will help Habitat for Humanity while also participating in discussion groups about their service learning experience, public health and safety, emergency preparedness and response and civic development among other topics.
Participants will be housed in Bourgeois Hall and will need to bring pillows, towels and sleeping bags. Lockers will be provided to store personal items, but 泫圖弝けs need to bring locks. Transportation to and from Habitat worksites will be provided.
