Members

The members’ Assembly of Popoli Insieme, currently composed of 44 members, is responsible for electing the Board of Directors and the President of the Association, approving the financial statement and any proposed annual activity plan, and expressing its position on matters submitted by the Board.
Members support the Association’s activities and are officially registered in the Membership Book upon payment of a €10.00 membership fee.

Staff

As established by the regulations governing volunteer organizations, the staff members of Popoli Insieme bring professionalism and specialization to the Association’s activities.

Our team is made up of various professionals who work in coordination, reception and job orientation, social projects, and awareness-raising initiatives in schools and the wider community.
The team also includes an administrative officer, a communication and fundraising coordinator, a cultural mediator, and a staff member responsible for inclusion activities and volunteers’ coordination.

Once a month, the staff meets to ensure a consistent and coordinated approach across all areas of work, in line with the Association’s values and that offers the greatest possible support to the people benefiting from our reception services and ongoing projects.

Multidisciplinary team

The multidisciplinary team working with beneficiaries in both initial and second-reception is composed of social workers trained in various fields (including education, anthropology, political science, and psychology), with diverse skills and experiences (e.g., extended periods of volunteering in Italy and abroad).
The reception staff meets at least once a week to share experiences and concerns, assess challenges, and identify possible solutions, carefully analyzing the situations of our guests both as individuals and as groups.

Depending on specific needs, the staff draws on the expertise of translators, psychologists, social workers, and lawyers. The team also benefits from the valuable support of two Universal Civil Service volunteers and university interns.

Volunteers

About one hundred volunteers actively support Popoli Insieme’s numerous activities in reception, training, and awareness-raising projects.

Their contribution is essential in assisting the staff alongside the people we welcome, helping with Italian language learning and studying, job searching, recreational and sports activities, and social gatherings.
Intercultural education projects in schools and community awareness initiatives would also be unthinkable without the valuable support of volunteers.

Based on their aspirations and interests, we define together the areas in which they can get involved.
The friendships that develop between our guests and volunteers are what truly define our work: our guests find in them a precious help, a friendly face, and a steady presence in a life situation where stability is often lacking.
