The Alternative Breaks Program offers a local weekend trip focused on gentrification. What is gentrification? Gentrification, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is "the process of renewal and rebuilding accompanying the influx of middle-class or affluent people into deteriorating areas that often displaces poorer residents."
Gentrification occurs all around the United States including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Brooklyn. Alternative Breaks' Alternative Weekend will be focusing on several neighborhoods in Los Angeles that are currently undergoing gentrification and the efforts to stop the process.
