About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Il Tetto was founded in 1984 and it was a small foster house. Now it is constituted by 5 communities for minors and some houses for young adults. The kids we host are both Italian and foreigners who are under the social services’ care because of different kind of problems in their families. The communities for minors host around 7/10 kids who are from 3 to 17 years old. The young adults – from 18 to 22 – live in separate houses and they are semi-autonomous. Our job is mainly to support them in their daily life and to create emotional bonds with them in order to improve their general wellbeing. To reach this goal we also promote several activities – sport, theatre, day trips, holidays and so on. Typical activities for volunteers are: • To support the educators in the organizational tasks; • To support the kids in their daily activities such as: studying, cooking, going to sport etc; • To organize activities during the kid’s free time; • To learn Italian and be “peer educators”.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Our houses are all in the South of Rome, around Laurentina Metro Station. The volunteer will live in a room (possibly single) and will share the common areas (equipped kitchen, toilet and laundry). Transportation for the various activities will be guaranteed by Il Tetto.

🎒 Leisure activities

We also have an italian language school open to our kids and others, in which many volunteers use their time to help the students learn italian so as to be able to build a life in Italy.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
