The Brigada includes a force of volunteer, youth leaders (ages 10 - 24), known as Brigadistas, drawn from the San Pedro Itzicán, Mezcala, La Peña, Agua Caliente, La Cuesta, Chalpicote, La Zapotera, San Sebastián, San Juan Tecomatlán and Santa María de la Joya communities (east of Mezcala). 

Brigadistas must be enrolled in school or an educational program, provide mentoring to people in their communities, wear and maintain a uniform, and engage in support activities in local communities which, for example, include First Aid training and services, garbage clean-up, recycling, infrastructure maintenance and tree planting. The Brigadistas also mentor children to encourage educational and community participation. Our support of the Brigadistas includes money for these youth programs such as educational grants, educational travel expenses, and office costs. The services that the Brigada provides to local communities are entirely free of charge.
