Are you a young person between 18 and 29 years old?

If so, you can join the Servizio Civile Universale (Universal Civil Service) project - in Italy or abroad - proposed by the National Office of the Civil Service, announced with the law n°64/2001.

An opportunity offered by the Italian State to young people wishing to spend a year of their life in projects in Italy or abroad. An opportunity for training and personal and professional growth, commitment and education to active citizenship.

it is an opportunity with a strong educational and training value, an opportunity for personal growth, commitment and education to active citizenship, contributing to the social, cultural and economic development of our country.

OVCI, thanks to the support of the FOCSIV Federation, has decided to open its doors to the Universal Civil Service (Servizio Civile Universale) - both in Italy and abroad, because:

• we believe that there is a high educational potential in sharing the activities we carry out for one year
• we are willing to get involved with young people who stimulate us and allow us to remain young

Over the years we have verified that the experience of "international volunteering in cooperation" exponentially increases people's abilities because it trains the mind and soul to work in a creative and flexible way.

This experience becomes a resource whether you decide to continue the commitment to cooperation or if you take another path.

Before participating in a Universal Civil Service, we invite you to visit the website of the  Dipartimento per le Politiche giovani e il Servizio Civile Universale (Department for Youth Policies and the Universal Civil Service).
