About Us

The New York 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 Non-Governmental Organization, Volunteers Around the World, our club at NYU strives towards providing rural communities in developing countries access towards medical treatment, medication and nutritional and health education.

If you're interested in global medicine and want to be part of one of NYU's most involved clubs on campus, then become a member and check out our website for more information or come to one of our info sessions!
