Human Rights Brigades Human Rights Brigades volunteers work with Panamanian lawyers to provide pro-bono legal consulting through a 7 day brigade in Panama. Student volunteers can either join an existing chapter on their campus or create their own chapter and recruit other volunteers. Human Rights Brigades provides services to remote communities using a community focused model, where volunteers shadow and assist lawyers as they provide legal consulting to individual families in the community. Human Rights Brigades primarily works with remote communities that are under resourced and largely unaware of their legal rights. www.globalbrigades.org/

Medical Brigades Medical Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists through a one week Medical Brigade in Ghana, Honduras or Panama. Student volunteers can either join an existing Medical Brigades chapter on their campus or create their own chapter and recruit other volunteers. Each of our partner community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Between brigades our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare.
