A little history...
IMPACT Service Breaks started in 1994 as Alternative Spring Break (ASB) with a group of University of Georgia students who wanted to show that service is truly "love made visible." From there, we have continued to grow, now hosting 25 trips across the Eastern coast of the United States for about 500 students during winter and spring breaks.
