Description of organisation

PROGETTO CITTA’ is a social co-operative, nonprofit organization, which aims to provide answers to local needs by developing projects and implementing interventions. The Co-op was founded in 1989 by a group of social workers, objectors and volunteers, with the aim of working with particular attention to children, adolescents and young people. We have always operated a dimension of maintaining parity of esteem between professional work and commitment to volunteerism. At the moment we host in our services volunteers from different national and European Program (national civil service volunteers, italian Youth Guarantee Programme volunteers, ESC Erasmus+ Programme). Progetto Città currently counts 240 members. The organizational style is the establishment of a dedicated working group for each service / project. The teams that deal with similar services are coordinated within business areas. Team work is therefore the work mode privileged by us. We think that working in small groups is the best way to share, support and give shape to ideas and projects linked to local needs and interests of our members and users. Over the time the range of our activities and projects has expanded and diversified and now we also deal with elderly and disabled people related services.The main services we offer are: • Early childhood: crèche management and integration services. • Child support, social-educative and entertainment day services (learning centers, community centers, supplementary scholastic activities, workshops, playrooms) • Holiday time services (summer camps) • Individualized educational social services (supervised visitation, specialized school support) • Residential services (group homes for minors) • Services for elderly and disabled (home care and services to nursing homes) • Welcome and integration to immigration and refugees. Progetto Città believes in integrated work on the territory and, therefore, maintains and develops relations and collaborations with organizations and local authorities since its establishment. We are a registered provider of social related services and are part of the “Tertiary Sector Forum” of the "Consorzio Sociale Il Sestante" and "Consorzio Sociale Savonese".
