We participate in the Civilian Alternative Service since 2003<\/h2><\/h1><\/div>Thanks to the FOCSIV network, we offer young people the opportunity to put into practice their competences and passion, working closely with communities to address social, environmental and educational challenges.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/strong><\/p>\nWe believe in young people activism and protagonism, in change that starts today. We would like to be part of a welcoming and open society, caring for everyone’s needs. Every person, after a volunteering experience, is a piece of this world. That’s why we believe the Civilian Alternative Service to be a powerful tool to create a meaningful and lasting impact, and to develop a concrete global perspective. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
