What Associazione Si Può Fare does

Associazione Si Può Fare is an Italian Associazione di Promozione Sociale (APS) founded in Turin in 2012, registered under D. Lgs. 117/2017 (RUNTS repertorio n. 60889, C.F. 97750730018), operating from the Raffinerie Sociali shared hub at Via Fagnano 30 with a secondary residential facility at Via Sostegno 41/1.

Service delivery is organized around four pillars — Abitare (Housing), Lavorare (Working), Socializzare (Socializing), and Viaggiare (Traveling) — operationalized through a portfolio of laboratories and structured projects: the Cantiere delle Autonomie independent-living program, Cooking/Photography/Socialization/Living Room/Travel labs, psychological support, the Radio Baraccone13 inclusive web radio, international youth exchanges (since 2013 with Scottish and German partners under Erasmus+), Italian-for-foreigners courses, and rehabilitation activities for ex-detainees. Major funded projects include Neetwork TO (Bando Fermenti, NEET work integration, since 2019), reSTART 2.0 (housing for 10 migrant beneficiaries across 3 apartments), IndiUp (guided co-habitation for 6 people with intellectual disabilities at the Via Sostegno residential facility), and GET-IN (EUR 129,510 EU CERV grant, January 2026–December 2027, with partners in Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, and Ireland).

The organization is funded through a mix of public grants (EU CERV, Bando Fermenti, Servizio Civile Universale, Regione Piemonte, Città di Torino), foundation support (Fondazione CRT, Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, 8x1000 Chiesa Valdese), individual donations (PayPal, Satispay, bank transfer, Wishraiser), the 5x1000 IRPEF tax designation, and membership fees. Total annual revenue is not publicly disclosed. The 34-person listed workforce includes 9 identified core team members (President Paola Finzi, Vice-President Francesca Galeazzi, Co-founder Cristina Becchio, plus secretariat, education coordination, radio, and educator roles) plus volunteers, socio-educational professionals, and trainees, in compliance with the statute's requirement that at least 50% of human resources be volunteers. The association has no proprietary technology platform; digital infrastructure consists of a website, social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), newsletter, and the Baraccone13 web radio.
