Goals of GROW:

1. To build strong relationships in order to strengthen all aspects of the partnership

Relationships are at the heart of the GROW experience. During GROW, friendships and mutual understanding are fostered which inspires students and partners’ commitment to global health equity and deepens the partnership for future collaboration. The stories students hear also inform their perspective as future leaders and equip their chapter to mobilize more resources to support their partner in the future.

2. To engage in mutual learning through the collaboration on community-centered projects

Students work with partner organization staff to gain an understanding of how grassroots work and how their partner organization is addressing the barriers that their community faces. Partner organizations deepen their knowledge of anti-oppressive, decolonial global health models while mentoring student interns through the management of projects and professional development opportunities. As experts of their community needs, partners collaboratively work with students on projects focused on existing organizational work and/or new supplementary projects based on partner organizational needs.

3. To collectively reflect on the strengths and areas of growth from the previous year of partnership and set goals for the upcoming year

GlobeMed students and partners work together to reflect on the past year’s successes, challenges, and accomplishments by assessing the data collected, stories told, progression of projects, and goals achieved. They do this in order to celebrate their efforts and to plan for the following year. This process ensures mutual accountability, learning, continued growth, and sustainability on both sides. By the end of the GROW experience, students and partners must complete a 'goals and next steps' partnership plan. By highlighting short-term successes and setting long-term goals, GROW interns and their partner can collectively work to shape the future of their partnership. GROW Interns are also able to take these lessons learned back to their chapter to integrate them into their chapter’s on-campus experience and functions.
