Break Description

Kick off 2026 by making a difference! Join us this January Break with Life Connections in Charlotte, North Carolina, and help support programs that empower individuals and strengthen community ties. 

Life Connections is a nonprofit dedicated to fostering learning, growth, and meaningful connections for the people they serve. Their programs provide opportunities for education, skill-building, and social engagement, creating an environment where everyone can thrive. 

During this break, volunteers will engage in projects that keep Life Connections’ facilities welcoming and functional, including facility beautification, assisting with learning programs, networking with staff and clients, and hands-on client interaction. You’ll play a direct role in supporting the organization’s mission while gaining insight into community service and nonprofit work. 

We’ll travel together and stay in a cabin, sharing meals, reflection, and downtime after full days of service and learning. 

Start your year with purpose, connection, and impact as we work alongside Life Connections to support individuals and communities in Charlotte.
