The Careleaversmaps.org project

The future is not just dreams and desires. Especially when that future is something you have to build on your own, day by day.

This is what more than 7,000 young people do every day in Italy. They are care leavers — young people who grew up outside their families and who are expected to become adults overnight, on their eighteenth birthday.
For them, the future means housing, school, university, a driver’s license, bills, documents, a doctor, contracts, the gym, a psychologist, sports, rent… It is everything that has to be built, found, understood, or sorted out day by day. A sea of questions that need answers — preferably quickly.

For this reason, we created careleaversmap.org — a place you can access from anywhere with just a couple of clicks, where you can find as many answers as possible. No beating around the bush, but phone numbers, addresses, emails, opening hours, professions, first and last names. A practical, organized, up-to-date directory.
A way to shorten the journey between a question and its answer. Between a potential problem and your future. Which, as someone once said, is today.  

To build careleaversmap, we did what Agevolando has always done. We listened to those young people — we asked the care leavers themselves. Those from the Care Leavers Network di Agevolando.
Together, we asked ourselves every possible question, divided them into categories (well-being, housing, work, education, documents), searched locally for where to find the answers, and gathered and organized everything here.

We did it where we are: in Piemonte, Lombardia, Emilia-Romagna, Umbria, Toscana, Lazio, Sicilia and Sardegna.
And we will continue to do so, listening to their questions and searching for the answers together with them.

Enjoy the journey
