CSV MARCHE

CSV Marche is the volunteering regional network which pursues the empowerment of volunteering organizations in the Marche Region. Its membership base is around 400 volunteering organizations. CSV has its headquarters in Ancona, 5 provincial head centres and 19 secondary information desks. CSV Marche delivers free services such as administrative and fiscal advises, communication, promotion, support to project development and to collaboration with public administration and other local entities, also through thematic networks.
The operational philosophy of the Centres is to add value to the resources already in the territory through networking allowing the experiences and the assets of volunteering to expand and gain value among groups and associations. Voluntary organizations have indeed specific competences, in their fields of intervention, that can contribute to a mutual enrichment of ongoing experiences: PROMOTION – CONSULTANCY AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT – TRAINING – COMMUNICATION, INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTATION -PLANNING. CSV MARCHE has an internal system of quality implemented through periodical accounting system. Volunteering, Active Citizenship, Community mobilization and Migrants Inclusion are some of the main topics of activity for CSV MARCHE in our region and, within national partnership, all over Italy. Since it fosters coordination and collaboration among Associations and Ngos and public sector in the field of volunteering, social inclusion, active citizenship promotion and youth raising awareness and education, the topic of youth mobilization and activation through volunteering and the support to civic participation mechanisms is particularly relevant for us. In the last decades in Italy, and especially in the region where CSV MARCHE is based, the topics of volunteering and activation of volunteers are widening in terms of awareness, interest and engagement by both enterprises and third sector actors. The approach fostered by CSV MARCHE is aimed to create local networking and proactive attitudes in order to strengthen best experiences and skills arising from a wide range of stakeholders. The approach is aimed to foster a “collective responsibility” which involves institutions, third sector, private sector/enterprises, unions and social actors, in order to support an economic growth which takes in account social, environmental and cultural issues aiming at the “community” well being and having youth as main actor of this process.
