Alternative breaks

Each year, student and youth groups from across "Students help Immokalee farmworkers during spring break," Ft. Myers Nerwsthe U.S. visit Immokalee during their spring, winter and summer breaks. These trips, ranging from one to several days, provide students with an incredible opportunity to learn more about life in Immokalee as a farmworker, the inspiring work of the CIW, and the crucial role of students in the struggle for fair food.

SFA has been coordinating alternative break and immersion programs in Immokalee for several years, and we'd love to work with your organization.
