In the surroundings of Rome, where no one would imagine, there are hidden little paradises where traffic and noise seem distant, and it is possible to experience a piece of the Roman countryside.
The main goal of this program is to protect local biodiversity while adopting a social and creative approach to work – all within the green spaces and historic parks of Rome!
You will help local NGOs to:
But what truly sets this program apart is its social aspect. While making an environmental difference, you will be in contact with migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, people with disabilities, and young people at risk of social exclusion.
You can also participate in their creative field: multicultural culinary events and handmadedesign projects!
Not only will you participate as an essential resource, but also as a tool for integration. You will play a key role in cultural activities, and if you feel comfortable, why not organize them yourself!
Volunteers work 4 hours per day, either in the morning or in the afternoon (depending on the time of year and the group’s preference). The same applies for the weekend. We offer responsible travel experiences and relevant tours and workshops that we can share with you if you’re interested. :)
You will work with people from other nationalities on the project, as well as with asylum seekers, refugees, and locals! A truly intercultural environment. The connection will be made by the project leader and our local coordinator. Our coordinator will accompany the group on a daily basis, ensuring that connections are madeandthat the experience is as impactful and beneficial as possible. You can lead some activities if you wish; just let us know in advance so we can organize everything on time.

Volunteers are accommodated at HU Camping in Town Rome: Located just outside Rome, it is a camping village transitioning toward environmentally friendly practices.
Participants typically share a non-mixed room with 2 to 3 beds, a private bathroom, and air conditioning. Bed linens and bath towels are also provided by the hostel. The roomsarecleaned throughout the week.
Mixity is possible for couples. The bungalows can accommodate 3 or 2 people, and we can arrange them according to the accommodation needs.
The fees include breakfast and dinner every day but do not include lunch. If desired, we can add it and offer a packed lunch option for midday meals.
Public transport is available and connects the campsite with the center of Rome. However, be aware that public transportation in Rome can be challenging (lots of traffic, transfers, etc.), and considering the age of the volunteers, we recommend renting a small van for the week (if possible, of course!). There is a hospital 20 minutes away by car, and emergency transfers can be arranged from the reception.
Finally, for excursions, simply inform us in advance so we can organize the activities according to the project.
