Solidarity Bridge, an Evanston based Non-profit, is called to provide critical medical care and Fair Trade partnerships to our brothers and sisters living in poverty in Latin America. Although rooted in the Catholic tradition, we welcome people of all faiths and traditions who wish to serve those living in poverty. Solidarity Bridge would love to engage a passionate, organized and motivated person to help on our team. This unpaid intern position will work closely with the Operations Manager researching grant opportunities, assisting with donor acknowledgments and record keeping, archiving, mission preparation, facility organization and office related duties. We're offering a great volunteer opportunity that provides a healthy overview of a medium-sized not-for-profit organization. We are a team of energized staff who are looking for another team member in a casual environment. We request a minimum of 10 hours per week, however hours are flexible within Monday through Friday 9-5pm. Ideal candidates will have strong writing skills and the ability to work independently.

About Solidarity Bridge
Location:
1703 DARROW AVE STE 1, Evanston, IL 60201, US
Mission Statement
In a spirit of solidarity, we partner with communities in Bolivia and Paraguay to increase access to safe, affordable surgery and other essential health care.
Description
Solidarity Bridge builds a healthier future with the people of Bolivia and Paraguay through domestic and international partnerships. In a spirit of mutuality, we train and equip medical communities, empowering them to provide high-complexity surgery and other health care for patients who lack access to treatment.
Through our partners, we operate four year-round surgical programs in general surgery, gynecologic surgery, heart surgery, and neurosurgery. Medical mission trips support these programs, bringing US doctors and nurses to Bolivia and Paraguay to work with local physicians, surgeons, nurses, and other medical personnel. Additionally, on our annual Multi-Specialty Mission Trip, US missioners work alongside their Bolivian colleagues to provide care to hundreds of patients in need.
