GT Trailblazers coordinates and leads a variety of Alternative Break trips around the United States for fall break, winter break, and spring break. Our Alternative Break trips generally include a service component for the initial portion of the trip, during which participants assist with an environmental service project managed by a local organization, followed by an outdoor adventure.

Throughout the fall and spring semesters, GT Trailblazers leads a variety of environmental service projects in the Atlanta metropolitan area. These projects are open to both and students and faculty, and include but are not limited to trail-building and maintenance projects on hiking and biking trails, invasive species removal, and other conservation-related projects. GT Trailblazers local projects are generally daylong projects and often will include a service project in the morning and hiking, biking, climbing, or another outdoor recreational activity in the afternoon.
