Join
International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the
Sustainable Farming Volunteering Program in Rome.
On this program, you will get your hands dirty at one of Rome’s many farms and parks. Volunteers may have the opportunity to work side by side with migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, as well as with people with disabilities, the elderly and even children. Taking part in this hands-on initiative with a focus on multiculturalism, sustainability and ecology enables these groups to gain professional skills and increase social inclusion and engagement which can improve their quality of life.
Volunteers are accommodated in a central camping lodge in Rome. You can expect to share a room with one other volunteer of the same gender.
The program has
start dates the second and fourth Monday of every month throughout the year.
This program ranges from 2-12 weeks. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information for your duration is available
on our website.
Your Impact
As a Sustainable Farming volunteer you’ll be helping with a range of activities that vary according to the season and local priorities. You can expect to do some of the following:
- Planting, weeding, watering and general care for the garden which hosts a collection of plants typical to the Mediterranean area
- Cultivating and harvesting vegetables and legumes in the large garden
- Craft workshop activities creating objects of various designs using waste or recyclable materials
- Urban beekeeping and honey production
- Taking care of farm animals
- Multi-ethnic cooking sessions
- Helping with events and the sale of handicraft and food products
- Running playful design workshops for children
- Urban redevelopment interventions, entirely with recycled material
Any profits resulting from these activities go back to the projects in which the workers are involved, as well as to other local non-profits associations involved in supporting social issues.
