Global Business Brigades at Penn State
Empower Abroad
Mission Statement
To equip Penn State students with the business knowledge, skills, and intercultural competence to drive economic stability for communities worldwide.
Our Story
As Penn State's business chapter of Global Brigades, we focus on providing professional services to small business owners in GB's partner countries. The summer of 2024 was our first as a Smeal student organization carrying out this mission. Throughout the fall and spring, we prepared 10 students for our inaugural brigade in Athens, Greece. This first brigade served as an excellent launching point for our organization. As we look to the future, we aim to sponsor 17 students for a brigade in Panama, preparing them throughout the semesters through our Business for Change curriculum and Spring Brigade Training.
