Program Details

Our project is about sharing, creativity and bringing people together, located in Sicily at the foot of Mount Etna.
We welcome travelers from all over the world 🌍 who want to experience the territory authentically, meet new people and contribute to the growth of a project based on collaboration and cultural exchange.
Our goal is to create a space where people, ideas, cultures and experiences can meet, giving rise to new connections and opportunities.
As a volunteer you will have the opportunity to:
- Discover Sicily and its traditions.
- Meet people from different countries.
- Get in touch with the local community.
- Share your skills, passions and knowledge.
- Learn new skills through daily activities.
- Participate in the life and development of our project.
We are looking for curious, collaborative 🤝, responsible people with a willingness to step out of their comfort zone.
It is not necessary to be an expert: what matters is motivation, willingness to learn and the desire to share an experience with others.


Activities & Shift

The volunteers will collaborate on the different activities, based on the project needs, their own abilities and interests.

Activities may include:
- Support for spaces: care and tidying of common areas, support in the day-to-day management of spaces
- Creative and cultural activities: collaboration in organizing events and meetings, support for workshops and shared activities, sharing skills, ideas 💡 and personal projects.
- Communication and promotion: support in managing social media, taking photos and videos, creating content to tell our activities.
- Community activities: participation in the project's initiatives, collaboration in creating experiences for guests and the local community.

Extremely flexible shift organization, about 4 hours per day. Schedules and times can be arranged flexibly.
Activities will be organized to ensure good collaboration and a positive experience for everyone.

We ask for flexibility, punctuality and initiative.


Rules

To ensure a pleasant and respectful experience for everyone, we ask every volunteer to follow a few simple rules.
- Respect and coexistence: treat all people with kindness and respect, welcoming cultural and personal differences. Maintain a collaborative and positive attitude.
- Care for spaces: keep common areas clean and orderly, take care of the facility
- Responsibility: respect the schedules ⏰ and the commitments agreed and notify in advance in case of absence or unforeseen events
- Community life: help create an inclusive, serene and welcoming environment.
- Communication: maintain open dialogue with the Etnalab team, sharing doubts, proposals and suggestions and reporting any problems or difficulties.

We believe a meaningful volunteering experience starts from mutual respect, trust and the desire to collaborate.
