Global Brigades at Michigan State University

Global Brigades at Michigan State University Global Brigades offers skill-based 1-3 week brigades to Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and Ghana through a holistic and sustainable development model.

Global Brigades is the world’s largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. Since 2004, Global Brigades has mobilized tens of thousands of university students and professionals through skill-based programs that work in partnership with community members to improve quality of life in under-resourced regions while respecting local culture. Global Brigades has a system

of Holistic Development that collectively implements health, economic, and education initiatives through several distinct programs to strategically meet a community’s development goals. With the collaboration of community members, student volunteers, and local technicians working to holistically develop or improve a community, we believe that sustainable change can be accomplished. Our chapter was founded in 2011 by a group of students at Michigan State University who participated in the first medical brigade trip in March 2012. The following year, a medical/ dental hybrid brigade was established, which was followed by the establishment of a public health brigade in 2014. With 6 successful brigades so far and over 200 "alums" of Global Brigades programs at MSU, our organization has continued to grow throughout the years.
