Casa de la Solidaridad

Dedicated to fostering men and women for others, Casa de la Solidaridad is a unique community-based learning program coordinated by the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, the University of Central America in El Salvador, and Santa Clara University. At the Casa, students from Jesuit universities throughout the United States integrate rigorous academic study with direct immersion with the poor of El Salvador. Through the experience, students learn deep and lasting truths about justice, solidarity, and themselves. The program draws inspiration from all the people of El Salvador who suffered during the civil war, especially those who were killed in their struggle for solidarity and social justice.
