How Do I Lead My Chapter?

Stepping into the role of Chapter Leader is an exciting opportunity to grow as a leader while creating meaningful experiences for your fellow students. Whether you're starting a new Chapter or leading an established one, you don't have to navigate the journey alone.

The Chapter Leadership Playbook was created by our Global Medical Brigades' 2025–2026 Student Advisory Board. These students have successfully led Chapters and experienced the Brigade journey firsthand. Inside, you'll find: practical advice, real-world examples, and proven strategies that will help you:

• Recruit members,
• Fundraise,
• Prepare for Brigade,
• Strengthen your leadership team, and
• Support your Chapter long after you return home.

Learn from students who have been in your shoes and gain the confidence to build a Chapter that creates lasting impact on your campus and alongside partner communities.
