Meet our 2023-2024 Campus Chairpersons
Our Campus Chairperson cohort is an experienced group of brigaders: as a group, they have visited all partner countries, contributed to all program areas, and participated both virtually and in person.
They are available as a resource for both current and prospective volunteers. As ambassadors of Global Brigades, they are here to share their experiences, advice, and guidance with other students looking to volunteer, lead, or start a Chapter.
