    About the organisation

    The Cooperative La Comunità is a social enterprise in Genoa that operates in the field of educational activities to combat and prevent minors’ distress and sustain fragile families through socio-educational, animation, and cultural services. 

    La Comunità is managing a CEA (Comunità Educativa d’Accoglienza Residenziale- Educational Residential Centres) that hosts minors taken by social services and temporarily separated from their natural families. In the CEA, they can live, grow, study, have fun and create significant relationships with peers and educators. Activities are structured to guarantee both group and autonomous spaces to the users.La Comunità has recently opened a residential center for unaccompanied foreign minors called “Tuin - Il Giardino” where 16 minors live and develop their personal projects.

    Volunteer Profile

    The ideal volunteer is autonomous, mature, responsible, open to sharing and meeting other people, and, above all, motivated to join our activities. The volunteer should be aware of its highly important role in the center and available to cooperate with the educative and training process of La Comunità. Since this involves a delicate role in contact with young people that often come from complex family situations, the volunteer must be fitted with qualities such as tolerance, patience, firmness, creativity, and above all, excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
