Gallery 151 invites viewers to take part in the Global Brigades mission, to initiate a discourse, and finally, to raise awareness about the non-profit’s role in supporting these international communities.
Global Brigades is the world’s largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. Since 2004, Global Brigades has mobilized tens of thousands of university students and professionals through skill-based programs that work in partnership with community members to improve quality of life in under resourced regions while respecting local culture. With over 10,000 volunteers a year engaging poverty inequity on over 300 university campuses in Europe and North America, students have helped Global Brigades reinvent international community service. Last year alone, Global Brigades empowered local doctors to conduct approximately 106,069 patient consultations throughout mobile medical clinics in rural areas. Most importantly, each Global Brigades student has helped to set the standard for health and economic development work, defining collaborations with the partner communities, and ensuring the sustainability of each international project.
