Job Posting Organization:
The Italian National Association for Civilian Victims of War (ANVCG) was founded in 1943 during World War II to assist civilian victims. With a mission to promote the interests and protect the rights of its 120,000 registered members, ANVCG has become a key actor in Italy, advocating for peace and supporting new generations in remembering those affected by armed conflicts. The organization represents and defends the moral and material interests of civilian war victims and their families, focusing on providing assistance such as war pensions, sanitary assistance, and access to work. ANVCG promotes a culture of peace and solidarity for all civilian victims globally, collaborating with public authorities and other nonprofit organizations to raise awareness about the impact of war on civilians. Recently, ANVCG established a research center aimed at promoting peace and reconciliation, advocating for the interests of civilian victims of armed conflicts, and assessing the social and economic impacts on communities.

However, prior experience in social media management, content creation, or volunteer work in a nonprofit organization will be considered a plus. Candidates should demonstrate a willingness to learn and adapt to the needs of the organization.
