Global Public Health Brigades at UC Santa Cruz
Global Brigades (GB) is the world’s largest student-led international development organization. As a secular, California-based 501c3 nonprofit organization, we empower university students and young professionals nation-wide to provide communities in developing countries with sustainable solutions that improve quality of life while respecting local culture and improving the environment. At UCSC, we plan to build a foundation of volunteers and leaders, each motivated to make a profound impact on our world.
Public Health Brigades (PHB) is an international network of college students and professionals that volunteer to design and implement public health solutions in the developing world. In collaboration with Medical and Water Brigades, this program empowers volunteers to build relationships with rural communities and create integrated projects to combat the threat of disease and the challenge of limited resources. Our holistic model focuses on education and infrastructural development to ensure sustainability. PHB empowers volunteers with the material, know-how, and support to deliver solutions that provide value while preserving local culture and conserving the environment.
