Applying as a volunteer is a unique opportunity to acquire new skills, connect with profound human realities, and actively contribute to the social well-being of our city. The call is open to all young people (Italian and foreign citizens legally residing in Italy) aged between 18 and 28 (not yet 29 at the time of application).
