Voluntary engagement creates connections, strengthens integration, and makes our sports programmes for people with refugee backgrounds possible

7/16/2026

Sport connects people. But for sport to have this impact, it needs people who are willing to get involved. At SPORTEGRATION, our volunteers are the heart of our work. They create spaces where people from different backgrounds can come together, friendships can develop, and integration through sport becomes possible.

Every week, numerous volunteer coaches, helpers, and supporters make our sports programmes possible at various locations. They dedicate their time, share their passion for sport, and make an important contribution to our community.

Volunteering at SPORTEGRATION means more than just running a training session. Our volunteers are important points of contact for many participants. They encourage exchange, support people as they settle into Switzerland, and help ensure that sport becomes a place of belonging and mutual respect for people with refugee backgrounds.

To continue and expand our programmes, we are looking for new committed people who are interested in volunteering and becoming part of our community. You do not need to be a professional coach. What matters most is your motivation, openness, and enthusiasm for bringing people together through sport.

We are currently looking for volunteers at the following locations:

Zurich City

  • Swimming course 1: Tuesday, 5:45 - 6:30 pm
  • Swimming course 2: Friday, 7:30 - 8:15 pm
  • Outdoor Fitness: Friday, 6 - 7 pm

We thrive through the commitment of our community. Every person who contributes helps people with refugee backgrounds build new connections, discover their abilities, and feel welcome in Switzerland.
