St. Francis Xavier University is a chapter of Global Legal Empowerment Brigades, an international year-round movement of students and local professionals. We work in Greece where together, with local staff and as international students, we empower local community members and secure access to basic human rights. In Greece, our focus is on providing students with a deep understanding of the refugee context in Greece and Europe in general. This is an amazing opportunity to prepare tomorrow’s human rights defenders! In conjunction with our Legal Empowerment Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with healthcare, economic development, and clean water and sanitation projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.
