Global Dental Brigades at the University of Houston

We are a secular, international student-operated volunteer organization whose mission is to provide sustainable development to underserved communities throughout the world. Along with affiliate groups at other distinguished universities, our University of Houston team recruits student volunteers and professionals, gathers supplies, and then travels overseas to help provide immediate, restorative, and preventive dental services in rural communities without access to oral care otherwise in a variety of Honduran, Panamanian, and Nicaraguan communities. Our organization will hold one to two trips per year, taking place during academic breaks, and provide ongoing year-long educational and professional development opportunities that relate to international health and development to members.
