With plenty to offer curious volunteers, you’ll never be bored in Italy. The coastline is perfect for boating activities and snorkeling. Regardless of time of year, volunteers can always fill their free time with language learning.

Depending on if you mind crowds or not, you’ll need to research the times you would like to visit here. Peak tourist season starts in June and lasts until August. Low seasons are a great time of year as a volunteer in Italy for a unique experience.

From hostels to homestays to apartments, Italy offers a plethora of choices. Depending on your program, however, you may not even have to worry about making arrangements for accommodation. If you’re interested in staying in an apartment, the rent is more affordable than most places in Europe (around $600 a month for a one-bedroom apartment). However, as a volunteer in Italy, you could live with an Italian host family.

If you volunteer abroad in Italy for less than 90 days, then a passport is the only requirement. If you’re planning on staying longer, then you’ll need to apply for a visa. You can get started looking into the visa requirements via GoAbroad’s Embassy Directory. Program coordinators are also usually happy to assist with your needs and answer questions as well.

Volunteering in Italy will overall deliver a balance between meaningful service, relaxing beauty, and historical adventures.
