MISSION // OVERVIEW! GlobeMed is a network of university students who partner with grassroots organizations around the world to improve the health of people living in poverty. Through their involvement today, students commit to a life of leadership in global health and social justice.
The GlobeMed Network currently includes 55 chapters at university campuses across the United States. The Network is coordinated and supported by our National Office in Evanston, IL . The grassroots health organizations supported by our chapters span the world.
MODEL
GlobeMed’s 55 student-led chapters each sustain a long-term partnership with a grassroots health organization. Students do three primary things:
1. Fundraise for public health projects that partner organizations implement
2. Learn and educate through GlobeMed’s unique global health and leadership development curriculum, globalhealthU.
3. Intern on-site with partner organizations
This approach empowers students and grassroots health organizations to work together to improve the lives of people living in poverty.
IMPACT
GlobeMed’s model has shown tangible results:
-In the past four years, GlobeMed has grown from 350 students to nearly 2000 students and from 17 to 55 chapters.
-GlobeMed chapters have positively impacted over 50 organizations by supporting public health projects and are sending 200 students abroad to intern with their partner organizations this year.
-Since 2006, our network of chapters has raised over $1,000,000 for health projects in their partner communities.
-We have expanded our team at the National Office, currently composed of 6 full-time staff and 20 student staff who each devote up to 10 hours a week.
PARTNERS
Currently there are 55 GlobeMed partners in 19 countries around the world, impacting health through prevention programs, treatment, and education.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSHow often should I communicate with my GlobeMed Chapter?
You should speak on the phone or skype with your GlobeMed Chapter about twice per month. Usually emails will be sent between these conversations. Historically, the chapters that communicate regularly with their partner organization are the most successful.
How do GlobeMed Chapters raise money? How much should I expect my chapter to raise this first year?
As students, GlobeMed chapter members work hard each year to raise the money to meet the goals of their partnership. They raise funds through holding events on campus, planning individual giving campaigns, and applying for grants. In their first year, most chapters raise around $3000.
When and how should I contact the GlobeMed National Office?
Your GlobeMed Chapter Co-Presidents will be your primary point of contact. However, if you ever have questions or concerns, we are here to provide s u p p o r t . E m a i l u s a t [email protected].

what motivates you to care about global health?
“My motivation for supporting global health is directly related to the inevitability we are all connected biologically and are social animals with a conscious. For the most part, we all know the inequalities and inequities that are occurring around the world (especially in the Unites States). Individuals in developed countries or those who have the ability to assist the less fortunate choose to deliberately do something about it or choose the path of deliberate ignorance; they choose to turn their cheek. I’ve always attempted to “put myself in other’s shoes” and “do onto others as you wish would be done to you.” I have several experiences in my past that have molded that I am today. From living in poverty and seeing groceries delivered to our door step from a local food bank in South Lake Tahoe, California to being deployed as an Air Force Officer (after receiving my B.S. degree) and seeing first hand human trafficking and indentured servitude. In addition, serving in the military fulfills the human yearning to be a part of something bigger then yourself. For me, I had fulfilled my personal responsibility in protecting my country, our way of life and my children’s future. After 13 years of service, I realized I wasn’t making the impact I desired in defending and fighting for social equality among all the world’s players not just our friends and allies.” --ADRIANNA MITCHELL, FOUNDER, GLOBEMED AT CSU-SB
