The Process of Becoming a Volunteer in Italy
The process of becoming a volunteer is a marathon, not a sprint. Applying for a visa, sharing information with your peers, and learning what to pack are all things that you’ll do before departing. It’s not just the tangible items that are important (documents, clothes, books, etc.), but the advice you receive before you leave that will stick with you throughout your service.
Introductions
Ciao, everyone. My name is Jake Kutina. I am a 2021 graduate of St. John’s University, and I am currently volunteering at Sant’Anselmo all’Aventino in Rome, Italy. In this entry, I describe how I joined the Saint John's Abbey Volunteer Corps, the volunteers' general responsibilities and our boss, Fr. Rafael Arcanjo.
