Humanity First at U-M is one of the many university chapters of Humanity First, an international non-profit founded in 1994. Since its original establishment in the U.K., the organization's influence has spread to 43 countries across six continents, providing disaster relief and humanitarian aid. At the university level, we incorporate the larger organization's values through local community service and an annual dedicated global outreach component.
Humanity First at U-M prides itself on a balance between local and global outreach. Locally, we engage in community service through several pathways in Ann Arbor. At the global level, members have the opportunity to travel to Antigua, Guatemala to assist in the establishment and operation of local health clinics.
Humanity First at U-M relies on club-based fundraising and individual donations to fund club meetings, student events, and to help students in paying for the Guatemala trip.
Local community service opportunities are available throughout the academic year, whereas the Guatemala trip takes place specifically during spring break.
