Hi There!
I'm a Canadian 21 year old who will be heading to Italy in June. I did an exchnage in Milano for 4 months last year, and have also visited Italy a few seperate times. I cannot get enough of tuscany, and am looking to spend a a week or two there, enjoying it as locally as possible. Would anyone know of any volunteer opportunities, or houses who would take me (in return for helping with English, assisting them in errands, or perhaps just seeking the company of a social 21 year old Canadian business student with a different perspective of the world)? I'd also be open to any B+B's or resort-style accommodations. I'm just looking to stay in 1 central area, and I'll have a car for day trips. I would pay a family to stay with them, and have them show me life in Tuscany for a week or two.
Want to vacation/volunteer/live locally in Toscana for 2 weeks

You might contact an organization like this one (link), but I'm not sure you would be able to select the region, and they may be looking for someone able to work for more than a week or two.

Hello!!! I'm italian and I think that there can be a lot of different possibilities to come to italy and in Tuscany as volounteer. Would you like to live a period abroad as au-pair? I think this could be a great option, but, of course, you have to deside such an experience. In Semptember in different parts of Tuscany, they make "vendemmia", it means that farmers look for workers to prepare wine. This kind of activity is usually also paied...This could also ne interesting.
