What is a Chapter?

We believe that we can make a collective impact in a sustainable way and that there is strength in numbers.

Global Brigades mobilizes thousands of volunteers each year to participate in sustainable development in collaboration with our staff and community partners through Global Brigades Chapters that are found on university campuses across the world. Global Brigades’ student-led Chapters are the engine that drives the impact and success of the organization’s mission and vision. 

Each Chapter of Global Brigades is focused on making an impact in a specific area through Brigades. On campus, student leaders create and lead Global Brigades Chapters like other student-led organizations on campus (i.e., clubs/societies). The goal of creating a chapter is to mobilize peers to learn more about global health and sustainable development and plan a brigade to make a significant impact with our partner program countries.
