Developing Solidarities

Developing Solidarities is a workers-owned social enterprise whose mission is to support community-based organizations working in disadvantaged communities. We work hand in hand with residesnts, academics, students, youth groups and other volunteers to support projects that concerve and/or restore the natural environment, creat jobs and improve the well being of the communities.

In Puerto Rico, Developing Solidarities works with self-managed, sustainable development projects located in urban, rural and costal settings and focus on environmental stewardship, microenterprise development, cultural preservation and quality of life issues.

We offer Community-Service Learning and Volunteer Abroad programs for students, and people in general, that are interested in making a difference in the world.
