GLOBAL BRIGADES USA

Business Brigades at The University of Texas at Austin

• About
  We improve lives in under-resourced communities in Ghana, Honduras, and Panama through week-long consulting initiatives. Our programs provide students with the opportunity to see the world and apply business principles to help communities in need, while also enhancing their résumés through real-world experiences. Together with Global Brigades’ eight other skill-based programs, we seek to resolve global health and economic disparities and inspire those involved to collaboratively work towards an equal world. Global Business Brigades (GBB) provides business consulting and strategic investment to support under resourced microenterprises in developing countries while respecting local culture and improving the environment. GBB focus is in remote and rural communities in Panama where we partner with other local development organizations to assess, implement and monitor sustainable development projects.
