Alternative Break Spotlight: Lizbeth

Meet Lizbeth: Lizbeth is our Trip Leader for The Changing Landscape: An Exploration on Gentrification and Immigration Policy experience. In her own words of her previous Alternative Break experience, "This experience shaped the way that I think and broadened my perspectives on how social issues affect communities. Recognizing the root causes of these issues deepened my understanding of food inequality. I learned from this experience that we must work together to break down barriers of social constructs, to recognize the societal causes, and use our voices to activate our communities."
