European Voluntary Service in Switzerland

European Voluntary Service (EVS): what is it? 

The European Voluntary Service (EVS) programme was created in order to promote solidarity and a sense of community among younger people within Europe (and other partner Countries). With this project, participants get to volunteer for many different organisations with various cultural and social aims. This is a great opportunity to learn new skills and develop their competences, it is not merely an internship experience, as it allows space for self-discovery and the development of personal projects.

What it is about
As an EVS volunteer (European Voluntary Service – equivalent of the ESC programme in Switzerland, funded by the Movetia agency), you will be involved in the organisation of the volunteer camps and you will support the realisation of workshops, training meetings and post-camp evaluation moments.In the spring-summer phase, your focus will be the placement of volunteers in projects in Switzerland and abroad.

During the year, you will also be able to participate in the association’s communication: production of video content, writing testimonials, supporting the promotion of SCI (Service Civil International) activities. You will also be able to contribute to fundraising, non-formal activities such as living libraries, info-events, school fairs and training for outgoing volunteers.

SCI Switzerland also encourages you to propose a personal project in line with its mission. It is a unique opportunity to develop transversal, communication, project and organisational skills in an international and intercultural context.
