Instead of relaxing at the beach during their Spring Break, some college students at Vanderbilt dedicated their time to the Best Buddies Spring Break – an inclusive service-learning opportunity where Vanderbilt students and their Buddies spent a week working together on a service project.
Buddy pairs traveled to one of three locations for their Spring Break: Washington, DC to lobby for Best Buddies and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities; Miami, FL to do hands-on community service; and New Orleans, LA to help with disaster relief.
In addition to service projects, Buddy pairs had the opportunity to go sightseeing and to spend quality time together during social activities. Buddy Adrian Ewing had this to say about his experience: “Where we worked together on a project for people that is less than us, to just having fun working with each other, to me and my life, this is the greatest week ever.”
