NJIT's Alternative Spring Break

      NJIT Alternative Spring Break

In early 2013, the Center for Resilient Design initiated the NJIT “Alternative Spring Break.” More than 300 students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends undertook volunteer work from Newark to the Jersey shore, cleaning up devastated areas and helping towns rebuild resiliently. Students worked on removing debris from beaches and parks, removing floors and wallboard, replacing floors and walls, painting and carpentry, stocking and distributing food and clothing, compiling information on areas affected by Sandy, and doing other work to help communities recover and rebuild. The highly successful program was implemented again in 2014.
