RCA Program Description:                       

The RCA focuses on the needs and issues facing poor, rural communities in El Salvador .

• CRISPAZ addresses those needs through long- and short-term volunteers who are placed through local NGOs working for sustainable change in these communities.

• CRISPAZ maintains an on-going relationship with these grassroots organizations and seeks to link them with one another and other organizations which will affirm their work and allow them to actively learn from one another.

• CRISPAZ sponsors interchange of ideas amongst community groups and encourages a broader perspective of their local efforts through exposure to global issues. We do this through community interchanges and by incorporating rural communities into the various programs and focus areas of CRISPAZ.
