Environmental Brigades are one-week experiences abroad that include hands-on work alongside community members to promote environmentally sustainable development. Environmental Brigades currently operates in Panama, each with a specific emphasis that enriches other Brigade programs in the region.
Projects include reforestation, rainforest preservation, energy-efficient design, eco-tourism and organic agriculture extension. Volunteers work in a variety of landscapes, ranging from virgin rainforests to urban beaches, different challenges for the survival of native species and future generations.
