Interested in volunteering abroad? Want an amazing leadership experience? UNB Global Brigades is looking for student leaders to plan our first Business brigade! The mission of Business Brigades is to empower rural communities in Panama and Honduras, without access to financial services and business guidance, to become more economically stableby providing micro-enterprise consulting, financial planning assistance and strategic investment after a thorough examination of potential loan applications. Business Brigades provides students with the opportunity to work first hand with community banks and Global Brigades microfinance staff to provide financial literacy education, micro-enterprise consulting, and promote community-based credit savings to community members. A Brigade consists of working, on a household and individual level, to conduct workshops on financial literacy topics and small business development consulting. Volunteers work in small groups to get to know their clients and address the financial and/or business needs and challenges of the client. Business Brigades are designed for volunteers of all backgrounds to be able to fully engage and contribute in the implementation of economic development. Interested in learning more?
