WWOOF Italia<\/h1>\n

Social promotion association has been established to coordinate the WWOOF movement in Italy and create networking relationships in the field of agroecology and biodiversity.<\/p>\n

As of today, WWOOF Italy has a membership base of about 1,000 hosts, 8,000 WWOOFers and about 10 ordinary members who join WWOOF Italy to actively participate in initiatives but also in the coordination or management of association activities.
We also have a small number of underage members who give a fresh energy imprint to a movement that invests in a better future through the dissemination of biodiverse and agroecological knowledge and practices.<\/p>\n

The activities of our Association are governed by the Statute and Internal Rules and are approved by members during the Annual General Meeting, which mandates the <\/span>Board of Directors<\/a> To implement its guidelines. The Arbitrators<\/a> monitor the work of the Board and the Association to verify its <\/span>responsiveness to social goals and objectives, and resolve any appeals by members.<\/span>
In the Territory, relational networks among members are animated by the group of Coordinators who spend their time in welcoming new hosts and organizing local meetings or assisting Members in resolving any problems.
The daily liaison work between Members, Coordination<\/a> and Council is carried out by the Staff.<\/a><\/p>\n
