About
Public Health Brigades is a division of Global Brigades, the world\'s largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. The BU 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.

The brigade begins with an introduction to the challenges that face community members. The following days the volunteers travel to one of Global Brigades partner communities to implement health education, meet with community leaders, and work alongside the community as an international team to construct five public health projects

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Public Health Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. On Public Health Brigades, volunteers develop sustainable health solutions and establish a standard of health quality by emphasizing prevention and education. The Public Health Program achieves this goal by implementing in-home infrastructure projects, providing health education, and engaging community members. Each Public Health Brigade will work with individual families, local schools, and community leaders with a focus on holistic and preventative health measures on both an individual and community-wide scale.
