GPSA is a socially-responsible organization with the mission to empower young people to become active global leaders. We do this by collaborating with local authorities to promote health equity in underserved communities. Currently we support community health initiatives in Guatemala; Belize; Thailand; and West Virginia, USA; while providing hands-on experiential learning programs and cross-cultural engagement to young people who have an interest in leadership and global health.
Our Global Travel Programs offer a unique opportunity for participants to learn through hands-on-service. They will have direct access to the community, working alongside our local partners to offer clinical screenings and health education activities.
Prior to site arrival, we train participants in basic health screenings. By working in an underserved community, participants will gain a different perspective about how social, economic, and human rights inequities impact health accessibility and services in comparison to their own.
