Alternative Breaks at 180

We are so blessed to have many colleges around the country come to learn and volunteer at 180.  Our Alternative Break program is a dynamic week of projects, team-building, and learning for college students looking for a life changing experience. Students will learn what it takes to produce organic food, (from the ground up) and how that impacts those who have cancer or other serious diseases in our community.  

What do you typically do while on Alternative Break at the farm?

• Working in the gardens mulching, planting, harvesting, etc.
  
• Small construction projects like building chicken tractors, raised beds, a citrus greenhouse, etc.
  
• Setting up or breaking down garden support structures.

• Weeding and clearing crops to make room for new crops.
  

What do you need to bring?  Weather appropriate clothing (that you don't mind getting dirty), outdoor work shoes (waterproof is always good), gloves, a great attitude, suntan lotion, baseball cap or beanie to protect from sun and wind, rain coat, and all personal overnight gear.
