VOLUNTEER CAMPS
What is a volunteer camp?
Volunteer camps are short-term volunteer placements in an international group. The duration is 1 – 3 weeks. Together with volunteers from different countries, you support a social, ecological or cultural project abroad (in more than 90 countries) or in Switzerland.
Together with other volunteers, you will get involved and discover the culture of your host country as well as that of the other international volunteers. You will meet new people, gain valuable intercultural experience and get to know the culture and society of your host country. From 16 / 18 years.

Projects for asylum seekers and refugees
Every summer SCI Switzerland hosts volunteer projects, which take place all around Switzerland. With the project „Create a Common Understanding“ we want to invite asylum seekers in those projects to boost intercultural exchange with volunteers all around the world and to offer a refreshing change from daily life in the reception centres.
