Learn more about volunteering abroad in Italy!

Are you looking for a rewarding experience helping others in the midst of a lovely foreign culture? Then volunteering in Italy is likely the perfect option for you. Nestled between the Adriatic, Mediterranean and Ionian Seas, Italy offers pristine beaches on all sides and convenient proximity to Western and Southeastern Europe. Possessing a diverse landscape of rolling green hills, ice-capped mountains and even island archipelagos, Italy is a mecca for world travelers, artists and idealists. Serving as a volunteer in Italy allows you to give back while having a life changing experience.

Although its legendary beauty has made it a hugely popular tourist destination, Italy has its share of problems that create a need for volunteers. Like other European countries, Italy has many English speakers. However, there is a great need among poorer families to learn English in order to increase business prospects. International volunteers may live with an Italian family in exchange for English lessons. Conservation-oriented volunteers may work to protect dolphins in the Italian Riviera. See a different side of Italy by working with underprivileged children in the poorer areas of Naples. Experience Italy as a volunteer and guest instead of a tourist by completely immersing yourself in Italian life and culture. Check out the opportunities below to volunteer in Italy and see this beautiful country in ways many tourists never will.
