Get [your hands] Dirty! Alternative Spring Break Application

Get [your hands] Dirty, the Jewish Renaissance Project's Alternative Spring Break trip is a week-long experience focused on getting to know an awesome group of people while exploring food ethics, sustainable agriculture, local food through hands-on volunteer work, building community, and exploring the intersection of social justice and Jewish values.
