Howard University Students Spend Spring Break Giving Back in Florida Keys, Fla.

Instead of participating in the traditional college Spring Break activity of sight-seeing or beach gazing, more than 800 students from Howard University signed up to participate in the Annual Howard University Alternative Spring Break (HUASB) program where students spend their time off volunteering in areas of need across the country. For more than 20 years, HUASB has been committed to serving communities in need and involving student in meaningful service projects. This year the program will support places that were devastated during the recent hurricane season, including Belle Glade,

Fla.; the Florida Keys, Fla.; Beaumont, Texas; Houston; Port Arthur, Texas; New Orleans, La.; St. Thomas, Saint Maarten; Anguilla; Puerto Rico and St. Croix.

The media is invited to cover the community projects. For more details, please see below.
