Volunteer work in Italy

Volunteer programs Italy

Working in close partnership with an experienced local team in the stunning European destination of Italy, we are excited to offer volunteer programs in the beautiful city of Rome. Programs focus on the key areas of teaching English, sustainable farming and Animal Welfare. Volunteers with a genuine interest and willingness to help are welcomed and on-site training will be provided so no prior experience is necessary. Volunteers will work alongside local staff and fellow volunteers on worthwhile, targeted programs to provide the most benefit. 

Rome is one of those places that somehow lives up to all the hype—and then surprises you anyway. Loud, beautiful, chaotic, and deeply moving, the city offers visitors the experience of walking through layers of history. Ancient Rome is everywhere: the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Pantheon are casually woven into daily life, where a 2,000-year-old ruin might sit beside a busy coffee bar.

At the same time, Rome, the capital of Italy, faces a range of social, economic, and environmental challenges. From a social perspective, the city struggles to support a growing number of migrants and refugees who require access to language education, job training, and social integration services. Recent economic downturns have also had a significant impact, increasing food insecurity among vulnerable populations.
