About
Global Brigades USA is the world's largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. Our mission is to empower volunteers to facilitate sustainable solutions in under resourced communities while fostering local cultures. Since 2005, more than 5,000 volunteers from 110 university groups have traveled to implement our nine skill-based programs to benefit more than 100,000 Honduran and Panamanian community members.
Public Health Brigades is a program within Global Brigade. Public Health Brigades empowers rural Honduran communities to prevent common illnesses through in-home infrastructural development, community leader training, and health education.
