Volunteer
We believe that volunteerism can transform lives, it benefits both society at large and the individual who volunteers.
SwissLimbs is inspired by the conviction that volunteerism is a powerful means of engaging people in tackling mobility challenges to disabled people. Everyone can contribute their time, skills and knowledge through volunteer action and their combined efforts can be a significant force to build a better world for all.
Volunteering makes important economic and social contributions and helps to build a more cohesive society by building a relationship of trust among people. It can be both challenging and rewarding and requires one to use skills in a new context. The volunteer can also transfer useful knowledge while gaining a greater understanding of the issues affecting disabled people.
Are you interested and/or available to volunteer your time and skills on a short-term assignment between 1 to 4 weeks? If so, please contact us at info@swisslimbs.org for more information. Please include “Volunteer assignments” in the subject line.
