Volunteering in youth shelter and educational centers

Descrizione

Since 1985, Diapason Cooperative has been dedicated to supporting children and teenagers. In this project, you will volunteer in two different structures: for 3 days a week, you will support the minors shelter in Monza. The shelter hosts around 10 young people aged 8 to 18. These minors have been temporarily or permanently removed from their families either by legal decree or due to challenging circumstances and are currently unaccompanied by an adult. For 2 days a week, you will support educational centers in Monza. These are the centers that offer educational programs for youngsters during the day. As a volunteer, you will support daily activities like workshops, sports, games, and socialization; help with logistics and preparation of activities. The ultimate goal of the project is to provide minors with safety and empowerment, while fostering an environment of teamwork.
