Spring Break New Haven

Spring Break New Haven is a yearly spring break immersion trip for students interested in learning more about Elm city! New Haven is a beautifully diverse and fun city. In many ways New Haven’s history mirrors U.S History—its best and its worst. Join us as we explore the city, get to know different neighborhoods, meet local leaders and community advocates, eat meals from local restaurants, volunteer and engage with our city’s history.

Throughout the week we’ll consider what it is to be a neighbor and community member—exploring how religious communities, restaurants, maker & artisan spaces, libraries, community centers, non-profits, theaters & more shape the places we call home. Join us for good food, new friends, and the chance to get to know New Haven in a whole new way.
