Volunteer Programs in Italy

How to do volunteer work in Italy?

Italy has social work opportunities all over the place, but the southern region is in need of the most help from those wanting to volunteer abroad. The economic difference between the north and south of the country is a consequence of strong industrial development of the northern region while the southern region remained agricultural. With just a few hours of work each day on a project or with an NGO, you get free accommodation while help those in need.
