🇮🇹 ESC Volunteering in Italy 🎨 Volunteer at Centro IRDA Youth Center in Milan 🎶

Milan has a lot of faces. Centro IRDA is one of the ones you won’t find in a travel guide — a vibrant youth centre for children and teenagers in the city, where after-school activities, sports, music, art, and genuine human connection happen every day. No Borders is looking for an ESC volunteer to become part of this community and support the educators, young people, and families who make IRDA what it is.

🏢 About Centro IRDA

Centro IRDA is a youth centre where children and teenagers come for after-school activities, creative workshops, sports, and peer support. It operates at the heart of a local community and works to give young people — including those from migrant and refugee backgrounds — the space, resources, and encouragement they need to thrive.
