Wilkes University Alternative Spring Break

05/04/2023

Nobody loves boomer balls quite like Saber Tiger!! Just wait until we hand out pools this summer...bopping the boomer ball around in the water is his FAVORITE activity!

Just like you all have your favorite hobbies at home, all of the animals at the rescue have their favorite forms of enrichment. Some prefer certain scents, others would much rather be painting than tearing up an enrichment box, and many just want to spend their day shredding cardboard and napping! We give enrichment to the animals at the sanctuary every single day to make sure they stay mentally and physically stimulated - an important part of life in captivity.

Do you give enrichment to your pets at home? In honor of , let us know some of your 's favorite enrichment in the comments below!

At Break Away, we believe there’s no limit to the change you can make in your community. While we are in the midst of a global pandemic, service for the greater good is still very possible - but we must be creative, innovative, and imaginative in how we go about it.

As you're considering the upcoming semester's programming, why not bring Break Away to your campus (virtually) for a training? Get the tools you need for your student leaders to be effective community leaders and facilitators of lifelong active citizenship!

Justice-Based Leadership Retreats are catered to your campus' or program's individual needs. Our Programs Director, Meg, will chat with your leaders about what obstacles you're facing and come up with a justice-based curriculum plan to address them.

*Note* In response to COVID-19, we have moved all of our programming virtual and the content for our fall 2020 workshops will reflect the shift of many campuses to virtual student leadership, service learning, and civic engagement.
