West End Intergenerational Residence

"Hi, my name is Mariah Butler and I am the Alternative Breaks trip leader for West End Intergenerational Residence. I am currently majoring in Industrial and Labor Relations with a minor in business. In the future I plan on pursuing business endeavors within the field of social entrepreneurship

Alternative Breaks has afforded me with numerous invaluable experiences. Some of these experiences include offering my support at West End Intergenerational Residence, learning about active citizenship, and becoming a better advocate for those who face homelessness through our service-learning curriculum."
