"Every person, without any type of discrimination, should have the opportunity to show his/her solidarity and volunteer for the benefit of the community he/she lives in".

Autonomia e Descoberta, CRL actively promotes Volunteering, Youth Mobility and the Culture of Peace as tools to transform society and as real opportunities to develop key competencies.

It uses non-formal, intercultural, service and experiential learning methods to encourage active participation of young people and supports educational, social and cultural youth initiatives with a positive impact in community life.

At local and regional level, the A&D acts as an information desk for volunteering opportunities and promotes the development of innovative voluntary services for young people, adults and seniors in collaboration with other voluntary-based NGOs and both private and public organizations.

At international level, the A&D edits publications organizes events and acts as a coordinating, hosting and sending organization for trans-national voluntary service projects, training courses and youth exchanges, helping NGO leaders and young people with fewer opportunities to take part in NFL and ICL programs.

A&D works in partnership with different civil society NGOs and networks.
