Alternative Spring Break Outreach (ASBO)

ASBO is a student-developed, student-run, community service organization at Stony Brook University that has been running for over 13 years. We look to promote a lifelong spirit of volunteerism within our student community through various outreach opportunities, having traveled to over nearly 10 states where we contributed to construction projects and provided natural disaster relief, volunteered off-campus with beaches and farms to clean the environment, and collaborated with other SBU-affiliated clubs/organizations to create positive impacts within our shared interests.

To prepare for this trip, attendance to GBMs is required and takes place on Mondays 7-8PM in Frey 309.
