You will be given information by phone which will be followed by a series of training and informational meetings regarding the volunteer code of conduct and the duties/tasks you may have within the association.
Volunteering can be practiced individually or in organized associations.
Such aid can be employed in a variety of areas. It all stems from the sympathetic will of people intent on addressing or alleviating unresolved problems in civil society.
The role of a volunteer is described in the 24 principles of the Charter of Values of Italian Volunteering, which highlights the importance of solidarity, and is regulated by Framework Law No. 266 passed in 1991. With the reform of the Voluntary Sector, volunteers have taken on an increasingly important role in society. This reform aims to promote and regulate volunteer activities, recognizing the value and importance of the contribution of volunteers to nonprofit organizations and social initiatives.
However, these regulations alone may not be sufficient to convey what it really means to be a volunteer. Real life volunteer experience offers the opportunity to experience the joy of helping people in need.
Volunteers can work individually or with associations, in a myriad of contexts.
We need your help to give a voice to people facing economic and social hardship.
Only with your help can we carry out our projects and initiate significant change, starting from small realities. We need people ready to roll up their sleeves to offer a precious commodity: their time.
