Description of the Project:
ONLY FOR MALE EU CANDIDATES (for a reason of gender balance)!
Volunteering project in Pesaro inside Onlus Gulliver that support people in need and people with fewer opportunities in different ways. One of their main activities is the management of “Botteghe del Riuso” with the double objective of reusing and upcycling things and of getting fundings for projects of solidarity and inclusion. Connected to the “Botteghe del Riuso”, they have also created a service of distribution of food. They try, in fact, to give a 360 degree support to people in need of any kind: food, clothes, items for children, furniture, appliances and also a service of transportation if they do not have cars.
In addition to that, they manage 12 Little Free Libraries and they organise educational workshops about bullying and violence against women inside schools and for the local community.
The volunteers will be involved in the following activities:
- Sorting of the items that arrive: the volunteers will be divided in different areas (clothes/objects/books/toys/appliances) and then they will rotate.
- Cleaning of the items: before giving the items to the families, they need to be cleaned and prepared in separate boxes.
- Creation of the food boxes: every box needs to contain a specific amount of food items and they need to be delivered to the families.
- Customer support in the reuse centre.
- Management of the Little Free Libraries by supporting in collecting the books to fill the boxes and by making sure that the boxes are clean and that there are enough books.
- Supporting the educational activities about bullying and violence against women inside schools for students and for the local community.
