What
is the Mensa?
It is a place where the homeless and people in need can go to find a warm
meal and a friendly environment.
What
will you be doing?
Volunteers will help serve meals, bus tables, and clean the dining rooms,
while helping to provide a welcoming and supportive setting.
Who is the ideal candidate?
This volunteer option just requires the desire to dedicate some of your
spare time to people in need. No knowledge of Italian language is required.
How much time do you need to dedicate?
Regular participation is not necessary. However, for those days you choose
to volunteer, you are required to be available for meal distribution
from 11:30am to 2:30pm.
Why
should you participate?
This is a new volunteer project in which students can give back to the
Italian community and experience a reality different from the stereotypical
view of Italian society, being aware of issues of immigration.
At the end of the semester you will receive a certificate of participation.
