What is a MEDLIFE chapter?
A MEDLIFE chapter is a student-led organization that supports MEDLIFE's mission to improve healthcare, education, and safe housing for underserved communities globally. By joining or starting a chapter, you’ll gain leadership skills, contribute to meaningful change, and become part of a passionate, global movement working toward social justice.
Why Should You Care About a MEDLIFE Chapter?
A MEDLIFE chapter is more than just a student group; it’s an opportunity to become part of a global movement that addresses some of the world’s most pressing issues. Chapters help drive local efforts to fight poverty, focusing on healthcare, education, and sustainable community development. By engaging in these activities, you get hands-on experience, develop leadership skills, and create lasting impacts—both locally and globally.
Starting or joining a chapter connects you with like-minded individuals committed to social change. It’s a place to actively contribute, advocate for global health, and make meaningful connections with other passionate changemakers.
How Can You Get Involved?
Starting a Chapter
If there isn’t a chapter at your university or community, consider starting one! You’ll have the chance to lead efforts around fundraising, service-learning trips, and local events that raise awareness of global poverty. You’ll work directly with MEDLIFE’s headquarters for support and guidance throughout the process.

If a chapter exists at your school, you can join their efforts to raise awareness, fundraise for projects, or even volunteer abroad on Service Learning Trips. Becoming a member allows you to develop valuable skills in community organizing, leadership, and advocacy while making a tangible impact.
