Volunteer work and community service are some of the things that the SSA encourages all its groups to take part in.  A great way to do this with your group is to plan a spring break service trip, much like the one the University of Illinois Atheists, Agnostics and Freethinkers took in 2008.

The SSA has a packet on how to organize your own spring break service trip (or a service trip anytime, for that matter!).  We have a profile of the U of I’s trip , as well as guidelines and resources for planning your own, and a checklist to get you going.

If this is something your group might be interested, NOW is the time to start planning!  These trips require some work well in advance, and with spring break on the horizon, groups planning a service trip should get started right as the semester begins.
