Civilian Service
The Civilian Service is an opportunity offered to young people aged between 18 and 28 to concretely participate in the development of civil society. Volunteers offer their energy and enthusiasm and in exchange enrich their background with new experiences and skills, while receiving a small personal allowance.
Calls for projects are launched regularly, and interested people are free to apply. The projects’ length may vary between 3 and 12 months, and cannot be extended. Applications must be submitted to the organization or body sponsoring the project and conducting the interviews.
The participants volunteer about 30 hours per week, 5 or 6 days a week.
Benefits for volunteers are:
- a net salary of 600.00 euro;
- the opportunity be part of an organization and to interact with others;
- hands-on training on civilian service matters and specific skills related to the volunteering project;
- in-kind benefits (university credits, traineeships, paid lunches and so on).
The University of Trento has been a member of the local register (Albo Provinciale) of providers of civil service projects since 2006.
The volunteers are supported by a supervisor, a tutor, who works with them the project's activities (the OLP, operatore locale di progetto) and is always available to give guidance or advice. The work of volunteers is constantly monitored to match their skills with the task to be performed.
