Mizzou Alternative Breaks and MU Extension Weekend Program Partnership

Weekend service trips give students an opportunity to learn more about Missouri, serve communities throughout the state and provide just another example of why we are the University for Missouri. As part of the weekend program, Mizzou students serve throughout the state with the local support of MU Extension’s Community Engagement Specialist. Each fall and spring, hundreds of Mizzou students participate in the weekend program, spending their weekend serving with MU Extension projects and local community partners.

Impact

The Extension Weekend Program has sent out around 50 weekend service trips a year. The student leaders leading the trips identify and plan the service projects around either health, education, or economy.
