About Us

The Nova Southeastern University chapter of Volunteers Around the World (VAW) consists of students that are enthusiastic and committed about addressing the health disparities that currently exists in developing countries. Through close collaboration with the humanitarian organization, Volunteers Around the World, our club at Nova strives towards providing rural communities in developing countries access towards dental treatment and oral hygiene, nutritional and health education. If you're interested in global dentistry and want to be part of one of the Nova Southeastern University's most involved organizations in the community, then become a member and check out our website for more information or come to one of our info sessions!



Upcoming Initiatives

NOVA Dental Internship to PERÚ, March 2025

Join NOVA on their Dental Outreach Internship to Perú this Spring! interns will have the opportunity to learn about various dental procedures, such as cleanings, restorations, fillings, and extractions, learn about the current healthcare system in Perú and teach a public health class and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information! VAW Global at NOVA will be opening up mobile dental clinics for local communities during their time in Perú. One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing full dental clinics and primary care medical clinics to the less fortunate. In 2023, VAW Global treated over 17,500 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2024! One of the things that make our dental mobile clinics unique is that we are able to perform multiple procedures including fillings, restorations, cleanings and extractions at the mobile clinic. Fundraising for supplies and medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care. **Note: airfare is NOT included
