Program Details

Our project is a dedicated space for social inclusion and personal growth. Based in the vibrant region of Liguria, we host programs designed to foster autonomy for young adults and provide a safety net for families in vulnerable situations. 🤝

As a Worldpacker, you are the backbone of our external environment. Your presence allows our educators to focus on personalized goals for our residents. You will be part of a multicultural environment where sharing is our core value. Your energy helps keep these vital social projects alive.

We aim to bridge the gap between social support and environmental care. You’ll spend your days surrounded by nature, helping us create a welcoming atmosphere for everyone who walks through our doors. It’s a place to learn about social logistics, sustainable gardening, and the authentic Italian lifestyle away from the typical tourist crowds. 🌻
