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 50 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 from America to Cambodia.
MODEL
GlobeMed’s student-led chapters partner with grassroots health organizations, primarily in developing countries. Chapters do three primary things:
1. Fundraise for public health projects that partner organizations implement
2. Learn and educate through GlobeMed’s year-long global health and leadership curriculum, globalhealthU.
3. Intern on-site with partner organizations
This approach empowers students and communities 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 over 1500 students and from 17 to 50 chapters.
- GlobeMed chapters have positively impacted 46 organizations by supporting public health projects and are sending 125 students abroad to intern with their partner organizations this year.
- Since 2006, our network of chapters has raised over $750,000 for health projects in their partner communities.
- We have expanded our team at the National Office, currently composed of 5 full-time staff and 16 volunteers who each devote up to 10 hours a week.
PARTNERS
Currently there are 50 GlobeMed partners in 21 countries around the world, impacting heal th through prevent ion 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 t o p r o v i d e s u p p o r t . E m a i l u s a t partnerships@globemed.org.
What is the difference between the Partnership Proposal Form and the Memorandum of Understanding?
The Partnership Proposal Form, which you have already completed, is the application for the GlobeMed National Office.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is completed with your GlobeMed Chapter and helps guide the partnership. The MOU ensures that you and your chapter both and agree to and understand your responsibilities and expectations. Each year, you and your chapter will work together to complete an MOU.
a bit about globemed’s history at northwestern In 2007, a group of Northwestern undergraduates were brought
together by their common determination to answer one question: What is
the best way for college students to improve the health of people living in
poverty around the world? Frustrated by the short term options offered to
them – donating money to humanitarian organizations, participating in
medical mission trips, studying abroad – they set out to design a new
solution. This model, they committed, would unlock the passion, resources,
and creativity of their generation to help build a healthier world for all.
It was clear that students and grassroots leaders each held a crucial
piece of the puzzle. How could they join forces to tackle the complex
challenges of global health? In the spring of 2007, the group at Northwestern
brought 45 students from seven universities together to tackle this question
at the first annual GlobeMed Global Health Summit. Crowded around a
blackboard with minds collaborating and ideas flying, they forged the
GlobeMed model.
The presence of five GlobeMed at UCLA
members in Uganda allowed our
organizations to unite over our visions and
continue to set goals that we would like to see materialize within
our communities.-susan ajok, straight talk foundation.”
