Passionate About:

The reason I'm going to college and pursuing a career in finance and marketing isn't solely because I want to be able to provide for a family in the near future. But also because I want to have the ability to create a significant positive impact in society. Global Business Brigades allows me to empower Honduras so that ordinary citizens can drive a more lucrative economy.

About Us

Global Brigades at the University of Utah offers a 10 day Business and Microfinance Brigade in March to Honduras. Business Brigades volunteers empowers rural communities in Honduras without access to financial services and business guidance by providing micro-enterprise counseling, financial planning assistance and strategic investment. During the brigade, volunteers divide into small groups to conduct client visits in which they get to know the client and assess each client’s level of financial competency, entrepreneurial aspirations, and/or business knowledge. Volunteers then provide educational and capacity building assistance in the form of workshops. Topics range from personal finance to basic accounting and business planning.
