Global Development Lab at UCLA

Global Development Lab at UCLA GDL at UCLA is a student organization dedicated to preparing students who are passionate about international public service for work in the field.

The Global Development Lab (GDL) is a UCLA student-run organization that endeavors to create a community of individuals with a passion for international development and establish a space for students to learn, experience, and engage in community development projects critical to the alleviation of global poverty. Our vision is that students gain the skills necessary to experiment with initiatives o

f their own, while at the same time gaining an understanding of “development” that is sustainable, culturally-relevant, and in alignment with the goals and needs of their community partners.

Happy Thanksgiving week! The Global Development Lab at UCLA is currently fundraising through SPARK to raise support for our student-created social impact campaigns.
We rely entirely on existing funding so your generous gifts are essential for turning these projects into reality and creating meaningful impacts in communities that need them the most.
Past projects have included providing reproductive health education to lower-income teens in the LA area, medical care to farm workers in the Central Valley, and internet access to a hospital in Uganda.
Every dollar makes a difference! Please donate at https://spark.ucla.edu/project/39752.
