Bergolo, Italy
Description
Vitality is a long-term volunteering project within the European Solidarity Corps that gives young people real space to grow, learn, and contribute to a local rural community in Northern Italy. It’s about developing new skills, gaining meaningful experience in youth work and NGO life, and being part of a team that makes things happen. You’ll be based in Bergolo, a small village in the hills of Piedmont, surrounded by nature and local culture. As a volunteer you’ll get involved in a mix of activities the organisation runs - from supporting youth projects and international mobilities to social media and communication, permaculture gardening, event organisation and environmental sustainability initiatives. There’s also room to develop your own personal project based on your interests. More information on our website: https://www.newellnesseducation.com/vitality-volunteering-2026
