Alternative Spring Break (ASB) is a student-run organization that conducts service projects during winter, spring, and summer break for University of Virginia students.

The mission of Alternative Spring Break (ASB) is to bring together members of the University community, who might not otherwise interact in their usual social spheres, in the common goals of service to and education about the global community, in order to promote and train future service leaders of Virginia. Through Alternative Spring Break, students may participate in group community service projects during winter, spring, and summer breaks, while learning about cultures and environments different from their own. First founded at the University or Virginia as a Madison House program in 1992, Alternative Spring Break is now an independent, student-run organization. Now a national organization, thousands of students from universities across the nation participate in their own Alternative Spring Break programs. In recent years, UVA ASB has grown to become one of the largest programs in the country.
