Alternative Break Trips The Caltech Y Alternative Break Programs aim to broaden student perspectives and foster responsible citizenship through experiential learning while connecting students with local, national, and global issues. These programs are student-coordinated and student-led, offering a unique opportunity for hands-on involvement. “For me, this trip was a dream come true. It is inspiring and informative to be in an international hub like Geneva and have questions about the feasibility of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, fake news, climate change, equitable access to technology and medical advances, and what impact we as science and engineering students can have in international policy answered by global experts who are working on tackling these issues every single day.” Kavya Sreedhar, Geneva Trip Leader India Ki Khoj Trip India Cultural Trip Read More D.C.
