Brigades Def'n. Groups of passionate volunteers who mobilize toward positive social change.
Global Brigades designs and implements a variety of international service programs that utilize the skills of volunteers while empowering the communities they serve. We currently operate in Central America where our staff maintain field offices and perpetuate relationships with communities and local partners between “brigades.” Programs in Panama focus on sustainable development and consist of microenterprise support , human rights advocacy , sustainable architecture and environmental preservation. In Honduras we’ve developed a comprehensive health model that consists of clean water projects , public health education , sanitation infrastructure , mobile medical clinics , and dental relief. This multi-disciplinary approach offers under resourced communities a holistic model for strategic development. We also support other organizations doing service work in Vietnam, India and Ghana through our “Empower Partners” initiative.
