Spring Break 2026

March 23 – 25, 2026
Freshmen, sophomores, and transfer students are prioritized, but all are encouraged to apply!

Learn about the labor movement with Solidarity Spring!

Solidarity Spring is a three-day paid Spring Break program offered by the UC Berkeley Labor Center. Through workshops, events, art, and cultural experiences on and off campus, Solidarity Spring provides undergraduate students a unique and inspiring introduction to labor and community organizing in the Bay Area. Transportation and meals are included.

No experience in organizing, social justice, or labor is required—just curiosity and a “sí se puede” attitude! Freshmen, sophomores, and transfer students will be prioritized.

Applications open on November 17, 2025 and close on Monday, February 16, 2026, 11:59 PM. We encourage applicants who see the application in the Fall semester to APPLY EARLY.

For more information please contact Bahaar Tadjbakhsh at tbahaar@berkeley.edu.
