<Tagline>An empowering exploration of systemic change in Baltimore</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Alternative Spring Break (ASB) is a five-day immersive learning experience for UMBC undergraduate and graduate students to explore the systemic and human dimensions of complex social issues in Baltimore. Participants will spend much of the week in Baltimore City connecting with local leaders, policymakers, organizations, and community members, to gain a nuanced understanding of the resources and challenges related to their topic areas. The program supports students in linking their knowledge and interests to local contexts, and in identifying pathways for long-term community engagement.</p>
    <p>This year's ASB program will take place from <strong>Monday, March 16 to Friday, March 20, 2026</strong>. Participants spend much of the week in small groups, each co-led by UMBC students trained by the Center for Democracy and Civic Life, exploring a specific topic in depth. </p>
    <p>This year's focus areas are:</p>
    <ul>
    <li><strong>Housing Equity and Access</strong></li>
    <li><strong>Justice in Psychiatric Care</strong></li>
    <li><strong>Fostering LGBT+ Belonging in Schools</strong></li>
    </ul>
