Curious about what a volunteer’s donation goal is?❓ Thinking about joining GB in the future?🌍

As a GB volunteer, a donation goal helps fund your program experience! ✈️ The amount varies depending on the brigade program, country, number of volunteers, and annual costs. 📊

Volunteers are encouraged to fundraise to reach their goal—and fundraising also spreads awareness of Global Brigades in your local community. ❤️

For a Medical Brigade, your donation goal covers: 🏠 Lodging, meals, transportation, and security 💊 Medications and clinic supplies 🌐 Translators, GB staff, and emergency insurance
