What is Global Brigades? We are the largest student-led movement in an effort to provide global health and holistic sustainability!
Here at UCI we have 8 different types of brigades that students can be involved in including: Business/Microfinance, Dental, Environmental, Engineering, Water, Human Rights, Public Health, and Medical. None of these brigades are major specific, so students can feel free to choose whichever brigade interests or resonates with them most.

We currently work in solidarity with indigenous communities across Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Ghana. In those countries students can participate in different programs depending on the program that the student is interested in. These programs are also called brigades.

If any of these are on your college bucket list, come out and join our family at Global Brigades!
