About 50 students from Florida State’s FSU Alternative Breaks Program plan to travel to El Salvador and various cities across the U.S. for community service, the Democrat reports. Here, the degree seekers will do everything from educating immigrant children to rebuilding a hospital.

While these types of spring break opportunities require a great deal of dedication, compassion and understanding, many students say they are well worth it. Catherine Lampi, who is working toward a degree in international affairs, told the Democrat that she began using her spring breaks to volunteer during her freshman year. Since then, she has been on more than six community service trips.

“The beauty of alternative breaks is that they’re composed of so many aspects,” Lampi said. “After each one, I’ve learned something about myself.”
