The UNLV Alternative Breaks team is hosting a Community Organizing with Pride Immersion event this coming Saturday, Oct. 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and we are inviting UNLV faculty and staff to join us as we have some participant spots remaining!
What is an Alt Breaks Immersion?
Immersions are free, one-day community based-learning experiences that occur within or around the Las Vegas region. Participants should expect their experience to include community engagement and learning activities, as well as individual and group reflection.

Options for attendance:
- Participate in the entire event, including using the transportation our group will provide.
- Participate in the entire event, but plan to drive yourself to and from Desert Breeze Park.
