What are Alternative Break Experiences (ABE) at ECU?


East Carolina University Alternative Break Experiences (ABE) create active citizens and leaders.

Alternative Break Experiences are short-term immersion experiences (ranging from 3-5 days) offered during fall, spring and summer breaks that focus on specific topics like service, leadership and cultural exploration, and strive to address a variety of social causes with communities stretching across six states and around the world!
