About TRIPS
Turning Responsibility Into Powerful Service (T.R.I.P.S.) is the purpose of the St. Norbert College alternative break trips. The T.R.I.P.S. Program is an opportunity for students to put into action their values, convictions, and religious beliefs through service. The T.R.I.P.S. Program is rooted in the ideal that service can change lives when offered by a community that is willing to reflect and learn together.

Students are invited for a week of personal, intellectual, social and spiritual growth. Be a part of a life changing service experience. Develop your leadership skills. Broaden your understanding of local, national and global community. Discover how to make positive changes. Experience a life and perspective different from yours. Enjoy. Have fun. Meet other people from SNC. Visit a new culture. We could go on and on, but what better way to understand the impact than to experience it yourself.

The trips are sponsored by
• Department of Leadership, Service & Engagement (LSE),
• Campus Ministry, and
• Program of Faith Learning and Vocation.

Staff support for these trips is provided by
• Nancy Mathias (LSE),
• Sandra Murphy (Campus Ministry) and
• Rebecca Welch (FLV).

In addition to the trip fee, participants help their trip group fund raise $500.

Take an AB trip ... you won't regret it!
