GLOBAL BRIGADES INFO SESSION
Wednesday, September 21 at 6pm – ARM 0121 (TODAY)
Want to provide access to health care for an in-need community? Want
to spearhead initiatives in microfinance and enterprise? Join the
Global Brigades, the world’s largest student-led global health and
sustainable development organization, in our efforts to improve the
equality of life. Students in our Medical Brigade program get hands on
experience in the field, shadowing licensed doctors as they consult
community on their health needs and prescribe medicines. Students in
our Business Brigade program serve as a catalyst to the development
projects, providing consulting methodologies, financial workshops and
“capital investment,” a monetary donation to the project to improve
profitability or social impact. We are looking for executive board
members as well as new brigade leaders who are interested in leading
our many other programs including Architecture, Environmental, Law,
Microfinance, Public Health, and Water! For more information come to
our FIRST GBM! Now servicing Honduras, Panama, and Ghana. Speaking
Spanish is not mandatory and translators will be provided during
brigade.
