Apply to be a Brigader!
Student volunteers do the hands-on work in the communities in Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Ghana. UConn Global Brigades sends out applications to join these brigades at the beginning of every semester. Please email UConn GB's secretary at [email protected] for an application. If you want to receive the application every semester and want to stay updated about club events, click here to join our mailing list. Check out the Calendar to see if there are any events, info sessions, or meetings going on!
So what if you're a professional?Global Brigades is run mainly by student volunteers, which is why we have university-based chapters. However, we are often seeking professionals (engineers, doctors, business professionals, etc.) to act as a driving force and professional guide on brigades. If you are interested, please contact us for more information.
UConn's Global Brigades chapter runs brigades during winter break in January as well as during summer break in May. The type of brigade and number of brigades changes from year to year. Please email [email protected] for updated information, or click here to join our mailing list.
