Come Join in our Mission!
Volunteer!

Volunteer!
Join us by volunteering for one of our Medical, Enterprise, or Education Mission Trips. Our volunteers are the lifeblood of what we do and give generously of their time, talent, and resources to empower and heal the people of Bolivia. Participating in this mission will forever change your life and your relationship to the important work you do everyday.

Though we are a Catholic organization, we invite people of all faiths and no faith tradition to join us! We do not proselytize but celebrate our faith by witness and example. People of all faiths and those with no connection to a religious tradition, are encouraged to join us and we welcome them into our spiritual sharing and reflection.

We ask each missioner to donate $1,900 to Solidarity Bridge. This helps to cover the expenses of the mission experience. If this sum is daunting to you, we can help you in learning how to raise the funds. In addition, we also have a Staffing Assistance Fund to help key personnel in need - we especially encourage nurses to apply for this assistance. Please contact us if you would like help with raising money or want to apply for the Staffing Assistance Fund.

If you are interested in joining us on mission, please contact us by phone, e-mail or fax and then fill out an application. The application can be downloaded online by clicking here: application, or through the mail by contacting us.

Donate!
We know that not every one has the skills or time to go on mission. Another vital way you can help is through a financial donation. Without donations of people like you, none of our work is possible. With your donation you can enable a doctor, nurse, business consultant, or educator to go to Bolivia in your place, to represent the generosity and love of the people of the United States for our Bolivian brothers and sisters. You don’t have to take the physical journey to heal the poor, simply the spiritual one.

If you would like to participate in our mission through a monetary donation, you have several options:

  • You may safely donate online through PAYPAL by clicking here.
  • You may send a check to:
    Solidarity Bridge
    1577 Florence
    Evanston, IL 60201


  • Donate stock or American Airlines Frequent Flyer Miles.

  • Join us for our fundraising events.

  • Consider remembering Solidarity Bridge in your estate planning.

If you are interested in making a more significant monetary donation, please contact us about joining our Samaritan's Purse Society, Solidarity Bridge’s major donors.

As always, in kind donations of AMERICAN AIRLINES FREQUENT FLYER MILES, medical supplies, equipment, and medicines are greatly valued. Please contact us if you have any of these valuable items to offer.

Solidarity Bridge – The Chicago Catholic Medical, Enterprise, and Education Missions is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and all your contributions are fully tax-deductible.
