Rome faces various social, economic and environmental challenges. Through our social inclusion and environmental protection programmes, you can make a meaningful contribution while immersing yourself in Rome’s rich cultural heritage, fostering intercultural understanding and solidarity.

On the social front, the city supports a growing number of migrants and refugees who need language classes, vocational training and help to settle in.

Economically, Rome has been hit hard by recent slowdowns, which has increased food insecurity among vulnerable people. Food recovery initiatives redistribute surplus food to tackle this problem.

Humanitarian projects and volunteering in Italy

Environmentally, the city is fighting urban pollution and waste management issues, which calls for conservation work such as urban gardening, clean-ups and recycling initiatives.

Young people from low-income families need educational support and mentoring to improve their prospects. Animal care programmes also help abandoned and mistreated animals.

Volunteers can also contribute as content creators, documenting and promoting these initiatives.
