At Global Brigades, our movement is powered by students. And at the heart of every Brigade is a Chapter Leader. These are students who step up to inspire their peers, organize on their campus, and help create real impact in partner communities around the world.

## What Does a Chapter Leader Do?

- Determine the Brigade date, type, and location for your team.
- Recruit peers to join your Brigade and establish a leadership team.
- Fundraise and help your team reach donation goals.
- Connect directly with Global Brigades staff, gaining leadership skills and inside knowledge.
- Lead with purpose, making global health equity a reality through collaboration.

## Why It Matters

Chapter Leaders are more than organizers; they are catalysts for greater impact. By guiding their campus to join Brigades, they strengthen the long-term sustainability of healthcare access.

## **What’s In It For You?**

Being a Chapter Leader isn’t just an extracurricular. It’s hands-on leadership experience. Career-boosting skills for healthcare, public health, and beyond. And it gives you a chance to join a global movement of students creating lasting change. And because of the commitment you’re making to lead a chapter on your campus, you will also get exclusive access to Chapter Leader scholarships that can help cover your Brigade donation goal.

## **Are you ready to Lead?**

Global Brigades has empowered 94,000+ volunteers and 1 million people across seven countries! Join over 400 other Chapter Leaders worldwide to bring about greater impact! It all starts with student leaders just like you.
