What Is a Global Citizen?

Volunteering Abroad and Volunteering Locally Are Not Mutually Exclusive. You Can Do Both.

A Global Citizen is someone who is aware of and understands the world as a whole, as well as their place in it. They take an active role in their community and work with others to make the planet more equal, fair, and sustainable.

Whether you go on one Brigade or become a lifelong Brigader, we hope that your experience with Global Brigades broadens your perspective and leaves you engaged in the world and your community for years to come.
