Since 2007 Avis Regionale Lombardia has been accreted as a hosting, sending and a coordinating organization in the field European voluntary services (in the beginning with the program of “youth in Action” and now within “Erasmus+”).

Since then, the association has collaborated several diverse hosting projects from different European countries (France, Ploand, Spain, Romania) as well as extra-European (Turkey, Morocco) for more than 10 volunteers hosted until the ongoing year. 

Starting our involvement in European planning by hosting volunteers has enabled us to gain experience and have our staff members emerged in-depth knowledge in the daily management of a project, putting in place all the possible and necessary resources to offer the best support to young people and ensure the best implementation of project forecasts. The association was also a sending body for 5 Italian volunteers in different countries (Turkey, Denmark and Romania).

Furthermore, thanks to the support of the National Office of Avis network which counts on a very large young audience, also coming from the programs of Universal Civil Services or from the young groups of the local branches or even from other experiences of volunteering and participation at the local territories: in any case the perfect target to whom to propose volunteering experiences in Europe.
