Join E4Impact Foundation with the Servizio Civile!

The servizio civile is a voluntary choice to dedicate several months of one’s life to the service of the Nation through unarmed and non‑violent defense, education, peace among peoples, and the promotion of the founding values of the Italian Republic, carried out through actions for communities and local territories.

The Servizio Civile represents an important opportunity for training and for personal and professional growth for young people, who are an essential and vital resource for the cultural, social, and economic progress of the country.

The areas of intervention in Italy and abroad in which organizations propose projects involving volunteer operators include:

• assistance
• civil protection
• environmental heritage and urban regeneration
• historical, artistic, and cultural heritage
• education and cultural, landscape, environmental, sports, sustainable and social tourism promotion
• mountain-area agriculture, social agriculture, and biodiversity
• promotion of peace among peoples, nonviolence, and unarmed defense; promotion and protection of human rights; development cooperation
• promotion of Italian culture abroad and support to Italian communities abroad.

 

With Legislative Decree no. 40 of March 6, 2017, the Servizio Civile aims to welcome all applications from young people who, by voluntary choice, wish to undertake an experience of great civic and educational value—one that can also provide them with useful skills for entering the job market.
