About Us

Green Bay Southwest High School aims to improve health care access and sanitation infrastructure for children in under resourced communities abroad. Our Squad travels abroad to conduct mobile health clinics for children that include primary health care and vision and dental screenings. We also learn about and address some of the systemic issues behind preventable diseases in the community by implementing health workshops and building handwashing stations alongside local students. Each of our student volunteers has a donation goal to help cover logistical expenses while abroad such as transport, local staff, meals, insurance, accommodations, but most important, the year-round follow-up to our project by local staff to ensure the sustainability over time. We need your help to reach our goals! Consider donating or joining our next Squad! We are a chapter of Squads Abroad, a 501c3 non-profit working to improve health, education and economic outcomes in the developing world with our parent organization Global Brigades.



Upcoming Initiatives

Green Bay Southwest High School Global Medical Academy June 2026 Belize

The Global Medical Academy mobilizes students abroad to participate in a medical clinic that will provide primary health care services to under-resourced communities with limited to no access to medical care. During the clinic, students will assist with intake, triage, shadow our physicians, provide education workshops, and help to distribute medicine in the pharmacy. In addition students will help build the capacity of community health workers on chronic illness screening techniques. Included in the program fee is a contribution that makes our medical clinics possible. Medical Squads is a program of Global Brigades, a highly recognized international development organization that uniquely implements a Holistic Model that targets specific UN Sustainable Development goals within partner communities. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably transitioning to a relationship of impact monitoring.
