Passionate About:

Traveling!! Last spring I spent my semester studying abroad in Florence, Italy where I was fortunate enough to visit 16 other countries while in Europe. I've been given another great opportunity to further my international experience by volunteering in Panama this summer! I will be shadowing Panamanian lawyers as they provide free legal clinics to rural communities. As an aspiring lawyer and traveling fanatic this is an amazing opportunity for me, and I need YOUR help getting there. Friends and family please help by donating to my personal fundraising page, any little bit helps!!!!!!

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers 7-day Human Rights Brigades throughout the year in Panama. Human Rights Brigades primarily work with rural communities that are under-resourced and largely unaware of their own legal rights. Throughout the week, Human Rights Brigades volunteers shadow Panamanian lawyers to provide pro-bono legal consulting to rural communities. A free legal clinic provides opportunities for volunteers to not only receive experience with Panamanian legal professionals but also experience first-hand the obstacles to justice and the culture of legal misinformation in rural communities. Volunteers also work to provide capacity building and education-based workshops on various legal concepts to empower communities through education. Additionally, volunteers continue shadowing Panamanian lawyers while they gather important information to initiate the process of resolving family legal cases, many of which have been stalled in Panama's legal system through institutional inefficiencies and the prohibitive high costs of legal services. Between brigades, Global Brigades’ in-country staff works to secure legal outcomes and provide follow-up to the community.
