Business Brigades at UC Santa Cruz is a chapter of Global Brigades, the world's largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. The UCSC 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.

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.
