THE IDEA OF THE FOUDATION
WAS ESTABLISHED TO PREPARE US TO THE FUTURE.
OUR STORY
In 1972, when don Gino Rigoldi entered the juvenile prison in Milan, it was clear to him that he couldn’t actually help these young boys and girls on his own.
He decided immediately to put together a group of volunteers to realise support and promotion project for the youth inside and outside the juvenile prison.
Cooperation and alliance have been, from that moment on, the working method of don Gino and of all the people who have worked with him in these years, giving rise to the associations Comunità Nuova and BIR.
The next and steady awareness-raising of the civil society, agencies and institutions for the girls and boys in risk of marginalization was essential to get together resources and competences that have been dedicated to the young generations in the last 40 years.
The Foundation has collected all these experiences to keep on spreading, with the help of Don Gino Rigoldi, the culture of solidarity and to keep on supporting projects and services that are useful for the needs of young people who doesn’t have the same tools and the same starting conditions of their luckier peers.
With the same conviction, they have in that moment, a group of friends and associations gave rise to the Foundation, introduced in Milan on the 25th may 2015 with the Minister of the Infrastructure Graziano Delrio.
Together with Don Gino Rigoldi, the founders are the associations “Comunità Nuova” and “BIR”, Roberto Bacci, Gianfranco De Martini, Mariella Enoc, Marco Morelli, Cesare Ponti, Pierfilippo Pozzi e Walter Saettone. Pierfilippo Pozzi is the General Secretary.
