What is a Chapter Leader?

A Chapter Leader is the club president who is working to start a Global Brigades chapter on their campus or is coordinating a brigade for an already existing Global Brigades Chapter. If this sounds like your position, you should have been assigned a Program Advisor who is helping you through your brigade planning process. Each advisor coordinates the student and community relations for their program and is the main point of contact for Chapter Leaders. Program Advisors for each program and country are listed at right.

As you work with your Advisor in planning your brigade, please also refer to the Step By Step Guide for Chapter Leaders. Click Here for Chapter Leader Step By Step Guide
