GLOBAL BRIGADES USA

Public Health Brigades Summer Special Project

• About
  Public Health Brigades works to develop sustainable health solutions and establish a standard of health quality with an emphasis on preventative methods and education, that will augment the other Global Brigades disciplines in Honduras. The Public Health Program achieves this by implementing in-home infrastructure improvements, providing health education and engaging community involvement. The Public Health Internship in Honduras will provide interns with an in depth look into public health issues in rural Honduras and a hands on experience working to solve problems within an in-depth project. They will work alongside the Public Health Brigades Program Team in Honduras on all aspects of the program; health and hygiene education, infrastructure development, and community involvement. Interns will experience how Public Health Brigades fits into Global Brigades’ holistic development model and see the challenges and successes of an international development
  organization firsthand.
