Developments: 2. Youth volunteer initiatives in Italy's Marche region have focused on civil protection, emergency response, and environmental conservation. In early September 2026, the “Voci dal Futuro” initiative provided training for volunteers aged 16 to 35 in the Marche and Umbria regions. Organized by ANPAS Marche, the program included workshops on rescue canine units, emergency psychology, and simulation techniques. A separate civil protection school in Piticchio involved 24 participants working with the Carabinieri, Firefighters, and Regional Civil Protection to develop practical emergency skills. Concurrently, the Legambiente “GenerAzione ambiente” program engaged volunteers aged 14 to 18 in environmental protection and territory redevelopment in the province of Macerata. Activities included maintaining green spaces, removing graffiti, and working along the Fiastra river and coastal dune areas. The program also integrated educational visits to local industrial sites to teach sustainability and social responsibility. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-07: Legambiente concludes youth volunteer program in Marche Young volunteers from across Italy completed the “GenerAzione ambiente” program in Marche, performing environmental maintenance and conservation work in Tolentino, Civitanova Marche, and the Fiastra river area. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/legambiente-concludes-youth-volunteer-program-in-marche ### 2026-09-05: Youth volunteers participate in Italian civil protection training Young volunteers in Italy participated in civil protection training programs in Marche, Umbria, and Arcevia, focusing on emergency response, rescue techniques, and civic engagement. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/youth-volunteers-participate-in-italian-civil-protection-training --- Cite as: Youth volunteer programs in Italy.
