DePaul University Environmental Brigade June 2016 Panama



Dana's Message

As being one of the Co-Presidents for the Environmental Brigade, I am excited to travel back to Panama and work with an initiative I am truly passionate about. By embarking on my brigade, I am excited to spread the knowledge for sustainable initiatives and to gain insight from different communities in Panama.

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7-day Environmental Brigades throughout the year in Panama. Environmental Brigades provide student volunteers with the opportunity to gain first-hand experience in environmental management and education by empowering community members in rural communities. During brigades, volunteers spend time with environmental committees to better understand the region's pressing environmental concerns and potential for improvement. Through interactive workshops and the implementation of physical projects, student volunteers provide the education and physical assistance necessary for these families to sustain long-term behavioral change, which will benefit the well-being of not only themselves but their surrounding environment as well. Subsequent brigades build on each other and therefore, projects are continued through successive phases year after year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with our community leaders to ensure the continuation of projects started by brigades and to provide follow-up on community members’ feedback as well as next steps.
