Program Description:
Climate Italy
Join International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the Climate Change Volunteering in Italy.

On this program, you will support local non-profits in fighting climate change and promoting environmental conservation. IVHQ volunteers work alongside local volunteers in disadvantaged suburbs of Rome to mitigate the effects of climate change through tree planting, and raise public awareness. This volunteer project also helps to foster community connection as a way to respond to social isolation, poverty and exclusion.

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 climate change volunteer in Italy, you can expect to get involved in a diverse range of activities. These range according to the season and current needs of the non-profit, but you can expect to take part in a range of the following:
  • Tree planting
  • Engaging with beneficiaries and their network on NGOs, to involve the community in tree planting
  • Supporting NGOs with general maintenance operations
  • Weeding, mulching, collecting trash, replacing damaged cardboard that helps with the irrigation of trees

It is common for volunteers on this project to work independently up to three or four times a week. You should expect to engage in physically demanding activities, such as carrying heavy buckets of water.
