Benevol Switzerland says: "Volunteer work is a societal contribution to people or the environment. It is non-paid and usually finite in time. Volunteer work complements and enriches paid work, but does not seek to compete against it."

Besides room and board and an allowance, we offer you an unforgettable experience, many interesting people to meet and things to learn! You'll also have the opportunity to improve your German, if that's something you need, and to practice your communication skills in the social field.

If you're interested, contact us with your CV and cover letter: leitung(at)cevizuerich.ch

We'd love to meet you!
