The volunteer will receive 350 euros as food allowance each month, directly from the hosting organization. 

The volunteers are hosted in an apartment that belongs to the organization. It is a two-bedroom apartment. You will share the living room, bathroom and kitchen with one other volunteer. The apartment is fully furnished and located in the area of Niguarda in the city of Milan. It is well-connected to the historical city center and with the organization’s office with public transports (tram, train and bus).

Our volunteers are always offered a public transport pass that enables them to use all sorts of in-city means of transportation (subway, underground trains, in-city trains, trams, busses, bike-sharing …) to facilitate reaching the office of the organization and other in-city activities. When the volunteering activities take place in other cities all the expenses are covered by our organization.

You will prepare yourself through the OLS (Online Language Support), followed by a test to determine your starting level. Based on this level you will be placed in a 60-hour language class in a public language center in Milan.

The volunteer will be required to work for 30 hours weekly. If some of these hours fall on the week-end, you will get free days during the week to compensate. You will also get two additional free days per month and public holidays.

Milan is the leading financial centre and the most prosperous manufacturing and commercial city of Italy. Although Rome remains the political capital of Italy, Milan has long been known as its “moral capital”.

Milan is very diverse cosmopolitan city; a home for people from different nations and cultures, and a heart of numerous historical, artistic, political and religious Italian monuments. The city is full of events of various areas of interest in every corner where you can meet people with similar interests.

“Milano” is set in the heart of the Po Basin of northern Italy, halfway across the immense plain spreading between the Ticino and Adda rivers. The climate in the city is continental, with damp, chilly winters and hot, humid summers. Snow falls between December and February, and springtime is generally rainy.
