A handful of University of Nebraska–Lincoln students spent spring break in a non-traditional way — in service to others.

The Alternative Service Break trip was offered by the university’s Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement team, and was led by Andrew Brown, assistant director of community engagement in SLICE. Students Ben Bentzinger, MaKenna Clinch, Promise Emmanuel, along with Brown traveled to Kansas City March 17-20 and gave 21 hours of their time to three nonprofit organizations.
