Use your education to make a difference!

Global Brigades is the largest student-led nonprofit organization. We work towards resolving health and economic disparities in our partner communities in Central America, Africa and Greece. We do this by sending groups of students on brigades to partner communities to aid our teams in-country with implementation of mobile medical clinics, water system design and construction, economic development workshops and much more.

The Global Brigades Club at UVic has a very big presence on campus and has sent 47 brigades to Central America. We currently have medical/dental, engineering and business chapters at UVic.

Our Medical Brigades help with a mobile medical clinic where students get to shadow doctors, dermatologists, dentists, optometrists and interact with patients in an experiential learning experience like few others. Brigaders spend time leading up to brigade learning skills they will need when they are in-country including taking vitals and medical spanish.
