The Soro Tori Onlus Association founded in 2006, with headquarters in Villa San Sebastiano Nuova, part of Tagliacozzo (AQ), is accredited to the European Community for the European Voluntary Service (EVS) accreditation 2016-1- IT03-KA110- 009409. The Association has several projects funded by the European Community (Training course, youth exchanges, study visits, Grundtvig, Erasmus +) and partnerships with organizations in other European countries, with which it collaborates on projects in favor of young people. In 2012 the Association took part in a community project (1.3 "Youth Initiative") with Croatia and Hungary which received the mention of the Croatian National Agency (coordinating country) as an example of good practice. Naturally, the territory of residence is the privileged place for initiatives that can divulge community opportunities in favor of young people and citizens; in fact, already in 2009 there was a conference with international guests, financed by a project of the Abruzzo Region, Youth Policy Sector, precisely to bring citizens and young people of Community programs that see the Association at the forefront. In addition to what already exists and described above, the Association intends to deepen its presence on the territory not only in the dissemination of Community Programs and in the management of projects related to them, but especially in the preparation and management of projects that promote integration, social inclusion, the promotion of culture and the prevention of child, adolescent and family distress, as a "mission" expressly indicated in the Statute.
