What 15 Trips Taught Me About Global Health

Guest: Jason Craig
Organization: Global Community Health Volunteers (https://www.globalcommunityhealthvolunteers.org)

Jason shares his 15-year journey running interdisciplinary global health trips for physical therapy, pre-med, and nursing students. From the first trip to Costa Rica shot on a camcorder, to this year's 26-student PT cohort in Guatemala, this episode is about impact, storytelling, and what it really means to serve communities abroad — and why students (and donors) keep coming back.

Topics Covered:

• The birth of Global Community Health Volunteers
• How service trips are structured and funded
• Advice for students who want to go
• Fundraising lessons learned (ditch the bake sales)
• Why content matters — and how to tell stories that stick
