Passionate About:

My name is Jessica Mayhew and I am a junior at Central Michigan University. Raised an only child in Holly, MI, I am a small town girl with big dreams. I have a passion for the Spanish language and am pursuing a Bachelors of Science Degree in Spanish K12 Education with an English minor. My career goal is to become a Spanish teacher, or even possibly an English teacher in a Spanish-speaking country. In my free time I enjoy hiking, fishing, swimming, traveling, spending time with my family and friends, as well as volunteering. Here at CMU, I am involved with an organization called Global Brigades. I currently serve as the President for the Global Water Brigade that departs for rural Honduras next spring, to provide clean, potable, and accessible drinking water to hundreds of families in the community. I served on 2016's brigade as a participant and 2017's brigade as Secretary. As the new president of CMU's chapter I hope get more students involved with this amazing organization.

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers 7-day Water Brigades throughout the year in Honduras. Water Brigades' mission is to empower communities to access sufficient clean water through infrastructural development, water treatment, community leader training and education. Water Brigades volunteers assist in implementing clean water systems to prevent water-related illnesses in communities with limited access to clean water. One of the fundamental roadblocks to community development is lack of clean water. With a sufficient quantity of properly treated water, community members can cut off the connection between water and illness and ultimately live healthier, more productive lives. Volunteers work side-by-side with community members as well as with our in-country project technicians in all aspects of the water system's construction while learning about its design, functionality, and long-term sustainability.
