Global Brigades at the University of Miami

LOCATION UPDATE: Today’s meeting at 8PM will be in Whitten UC room 2300H (second floor of the UC, across the breezeway from the bookstore)

Global Brigades works to empower volunteers and under-resourced communities to resolve global health and economic disparities, and to inspire all involved to collaboratively work towards an equal world. Our vision is to improve the quality of life by igniting the largest student-led social responsibility movement on the planet. We currently send students to Ghana, Panama, and Greece to provide medical care, economic assistance, and basic necessities.

Our first meeting will be held on Thursday, September 5th at 8pm in the Student Activities Room South on the 3rd floor of the Shalala Student Center.

Come out to learn more about the Medical Brigade to Panama and other brigades we will be sending this year!!

We are excited to announce that the UMiami Global Brigade chapter will be sending a medical brigade to Panama December 13-19th! Over the 7-day trip, we will set up free health clinics in underserved communities in Panama. Volunteers will be able to gain once in a lifetime patient experiences while contributing to the fight for health equity abroad. We will be holding an information meeting at the beginning of the semester; date TBD. Attached is our volunteer page link for both registration and donations. Please feel free to reach out to our brigade leaders, Tina Phan or Shruti Karnani at [email protected] or [email protected], for any questions you may have about the trip. Be a part of the global effort to resolve health and economic disparities!!

Hello Global Brigaders!

We all hope you had a great winter break and are just as excited as we are to be back! Both the Public Health Brigade and the Medical Brigade to Nicaragua are coming up in just a few months, but there is still time to sign up!

An informational meeting for the Public Health Brigade will be held on January 23rd at 8 pm in UC 2300J, and a meeting for the Medical Brigade will be held on January 24th at 8pm in UC 2300H. We will be going over schedules, pricing, fundraising, travel information, and much more!

The Public Health Brigade is May 10th to 16th, and will be led by Sam Brindley. The program cost for this brigade is $790, which does not include air fare. The Medical Brigade to Nicaragua is May 10th to 16th, and will be led by Helen Kattoura and Danielle Neskora. The program cost for this brigade is $990, which does not include air fare.

If you're interested in going on either brigade and would like more information before the meeting, you can email this message back for general questions, email Helen at [email protected] or Danielle at [email protected] for the medical brigade, or email Sam at mailto:[email protected] for the public health brigade. Feel free to explore GB's awesome website https://www.globalbrigades.org for additional information as well.

We are so excited to be able to offer an experience that not only invaluably impacts your professional career, but that also supports GB’s unique holistic and sustainable model. Your work abroad will create real, long-lasting changes for the members of these impoverished communities. Through education and collaboration, these communities are eventually able to function independently and to prosper on their own.
