Together, we can change children’s futures  

Commitment can be a solo effort, of course, but it can last a lot longer as part of a team. One day, two days, every day? It doesn’t really matter. In fact, sometimes it doesn’t take much to do a great deal. So, if you too have been wondering about volunteering to help children and young people, now is the time to take that decision, once and for all.  

As a Terre des hommes volunteer, you will join a community that shares the same values, attend some once-in-a-lifetime events in Switzerland, and enjoy some intense experiences.
