Alternative Break Trips
Dialogue and Service Weeks
Interfaith Philadelphia has been at the forefront of hosting Alternative Break dialogue and service weeks for almost two decades. We have worked with over 60 colleges, universities, high schools, and youth groups, engaging with more than 650 student leaders from diverse backgrounds. During these experiences, participants have not only visited congregations representing over two dozen distinct faith communities but have also dedicated their time and energy to tackle important social issues in our community.
