DonateEurope
Our roots are in Italy. After 78 years, we continue working in collaboration with local organizations to empower immigrant children and youth. Our Partners in Italy provide a caring environment where immigrant youth can learn, rebuild their lives and grow into responsible citizens.
Our Partners provide a chance in life to children and young people. The programs ensure youth have the necessary resources to complete their education and access technical and vocational courses to develop their skillsets. Education and training opportunities enable young people to develop their independence and prepare for adulthood. The program’s Positive Youth Development approach (previously called “self-government”), instills the value of responsibility and fosters confidence.
