Information providers 

There are other third sector organizations involved in volunteering that carry out awareness activities for young people. In particular:

• The Volunteering Service Centres (see paragraph 2.2) supports Third sector organizations in promoting volunteering at local level. They carry out promotional activities in schools also through the “volunteer passport” (passaporto del volontario), a tool that certifies the skills acquired by students during volunteering. It is a personal document that can accompany the student throughout the school career.
• The Youth Information Centres (Centri InformaGiovani) that provide information and guidance on training, volunteering, leisure, sport and job opportunities.
• Eurodesk Italia is the official network of the Erasmus+ programme that provides information on programmes and initiatives financed by European institutions in particular: international mobility, culture, formal and non-formal training, volunteering and job opportunities. It is supported by the European Commission DG EAC and the National Agency for Youth.
