Alternative Break is back to provide youth with a virtual field trip to learn about creative career paths in major cities across the U.S. We went to Philly to talk with David Jones, a former Philly Youth Poet Laureate who is expanding his expression as well as moving into the world of finance.

Alternative Break is just what it says — an alternate way for students to spend their Academic Breaks. The Words Beats & Life Alternative Break experience focuses on providing DMV youth the opportunity to explore and experience the creative communities of DC, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York.
