Breakout Princeton Civic Action Trips

Breakout Princeton Civic Action Trips are week-long opportunities to learn about and take action on complex public issues through community immersion, direct service, group discussions, and reflection activities. The complete Breakout experience consists of a series of pre-trip meetings, an unforgettable week, and related wrap-up sessions. Pre-trip meetings provide students from all backgrounds a common base of knowledge, while post-trip meetings encourage participants to share what they’ve learned with the wider campus community.
So why Breakout?
The Breakout Trips bring together a diverse group of students to explore an equally diverse array of topics – think criminal justice, environmental sustainability, poverty, healthcare, education reform... the list goes on.
All trips are organized and developed by students, for students. The level of engagement and initiative combine to provide one of Princeton’s premier leadership development opportunities.
Students who have participated in the past have often been inspired to explore new paths -- majors, careers, summer opportunities -- and even form new student groups.
All undergraduate and graduate students are highly encouraged to apply today!
