About Us

The George Mason University chapter of Volunteers Around the World (VAW) consists of students that are enthusiastic and committed about addressing the health disparities that currently exists in developing countries. Through close collaboration with the Non-Governmental Organization, Volunteers Around the World, our club at George Mason strives towards providing rural communities in developing countries access towards medical treatment, medication and nutritional and health education.

If you're interested in global medicine and want to be part of one of George Mason's most involved clubs on campus, then become a member and check out our website for more information or come to one of our info sessions!




Upcoming Initiatives

George Mason University Medical Internship to MEXICO, AUGUST 2025

 Join the George Mason University chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship in Mexico this upcoming Summer! interns will work in mobile medical clinics, where they will have the opportunity to intake patients, conduct public health surveys, take vitals, shadow local physicians, work in the pharmacy, teach education classes, and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information! VAW Global at George Mason University will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Mexico. One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2023, VAW Global treated over 17,500 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2024! One of the things that makes our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care. **Note: Airfare is not included
