Environmental Brigades at George Washington U

• About
  GWU is a chapter of Global Brigades, the world's largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. The GWU chapter systematically works with more than 300 other university groups around the world to deliver and implement one of nine skill-based programs that benefit more than 130,000 Honduran and Panamanian community members annually.
  
  Environmental Brigades are one-week experiences abroad that include hands-on work alongside community members to promote environmentally sustainable development. Environmental Brigades currently operates in Panama, each with a specific emphasis that enriches other Brigade programs in the region. Projects include reforestation, rainforest preservation, energy-efficient design, eco-tourism and organic agriculture extension.
