Our incredible immersion participants partnered with yesterday and are heading back today! They are helping to feed 125 animals, clean pens, water and clean up the the animals, socialize them with each other, move manure to the compost area of the farm, clean the barn, and fill up a ditch that had been previously washed away. They are also learning about how this amazing sanctuary rescues abused and neglected animals and helps them with recovery.

It's Spring Break at Rollins College! This year, we have FIVE Alternative Spring Breaks out across the country and you will get to hear about them over the next five days!

Today's highlight is a small group of committed students in Panama City, Florida. Hurricane Michael impacted this area last fall and the group is working with several different organizations, including the Habitat for Humanity Community ReStore and Bay County Conservancy, Inc., to support their missions as the area continues to recover from natural disaster. Check out the photos!

Our fall break Immersions went to the Everglades and Miami to address areas of female empowerment and wildlife conservation. The participants were able to learn and serve in their respective communities, and left feeling as though they had the tools to become lifelong advocates for the issues at hand. Special thanks to the facilitators, community partners, and communities for the hard work they put into making these experiences so impactful!
