How to Launch an Affiliate
Don’t see an ISP program near you?
Perhaps you are curious about how to begin a new ISP program in your area.
ISP offers two ways of partnering with us:
- City Affiliates (CAs) are a group of committed volunteers who join together to offer ISP retreats and programs in their city. CAs operate under our non-profit designation and receive program, pastoral, and administrative support from the ISP Network office.
- Institutional Affiliates (IAs) are established organizations (e.g. retreat houses, parishes, religious communities) that partner with us to offer ISP retreats and programs as part of their mission. IAs sign an annual sponsorship agreement with ISP Network for use of our retreat model as well as comprehensive program and formation support.
To inquire about bringing ISP to your community, contact Christine Curran, Director of Programs and Mission Effectiveness, at christine@ispretreats.org or 312-226-9184. We look forward to hearing from you!

When I came back from the retreat, I had the ability now to pray to a Higher Power, which really relieved my soul. I know that somebody loves me, my God loves me…The retreat made a big difference to me because I wasn’t as angry as I had been. I learned to accept things better. I was firmly rooted into something.”
