Become a Summer or Long-Term Volunteer
Our Summer Immersion Program (SIP) is an intensive learning and service experience in a poor, rural community in El Salvador. Interns live with Salvadorans and accompany them in their daily life and work. Each intern has the opportunity to contribute her/his skills to the community. CRISPAZ provides interns with orientation and project placement, and our staff facilitates times of reflection, analysis, and evaluation throughout the course of the program. The 2006 SIP Program dates are May 29 through August 13. The deadline for receiving applications is March 15. Click here for more information or contact us with questions at volunteer@crispaz.org.
We also have long-term volunteer opportunities available. Long-term volunteers commit to a minimum of 18 months living alongside Salvadorans and working in one of our four focus areas: Alternatives for High-Risk Youth, Rural Community Accompaniment, Economics for People and South-North Solidarity.

Join the Jesuit University Student Delegation
The Jesuit University student delegation is an opportunity for students from across the country to come together to learn about El Salvador and explore strategies for effective advocacy around economic justice issues in the university context.
We encourage students to seek University sponsorship from Campus Ministry, the offices of the President and Provost, the Jesuit community, academic departments, and other related groups, centers, or projects on campus. We also encourage university departments to commit to funding and finding a student to attend the delegation. In this way, the students are empowered to attend the delegation as a representative of her/his university and return to campus to work directly with fellow students and university administrators on important issues of labor and economic justice. Collaborate with other Jesuit University students on strategies for effective advocacy around economic justice issues from within their University contexts.
