By organizing and arranging international workcamps, Workcamp Switzerland aims to achieve a double effect:
>On the one hand, it aims to support social, cultural and ecological projects which can hardly be realized without the aid of volunteers.
>On the other hand, it aims to enable young people from Switzerland and other countries to have learning experiences and encounters which deepen their understanding of other cultures, strengthen their sense of responsibility, extend their practical experience and further their cooperative skills.
Workcamp Switzerland is a non-profit organisation under Articles 60ff of the Swiss Civil Code.
Workcamp Switzerland is independent of political parties and religiously neutral.
Workcamp Switzerland is supported by:
>Office for Youth at the Swiss Federal Office for Social Insurance
