This week we sit down with Steve Atamian, founder of incredible volunteer organization Global Brigades, which sends more people abroad each year than the Peace Corps yet is sustained entirely through grassroots college chapters. We discuss GB's origins, how the organization ensures lasting solutions, and how conscientious volunteering can bring developing communities out of isolation.
