This includes Hosting (i.e. the camps we organize in Swizterland \u2013 in 2025 it will be a Youth Meeting), Sending (i.e. setting up and guiding delegations for all camps), annual gatherings and minicamps, liaising with CISV International, managing treasury, general administration, Risk Management etc\u2026it literally takes a village and we are always looking for motivated CISV members to join us!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today we want to showcase one of the open opportunities within the Committee and namely the Volunteer Coordinator. This is a crucial role for us as this is the person in charge of organizing volunteer support for specific occasions. It is about making sure we have individual members smoothly signing up as additional hands to abily support our minicamps and annual gatherings for kitchen or cleaning duties, as well as the camps we organize for all sort of support that may be needed (e.g. groceries, cooking etc).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you believe you can help us rallying people together (think Doodle forms and Whatsapp groups) please do consider joining us as Volunteer Coordinator!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a45116 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3a45116\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"313\" height=\"313\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cisv.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/unnamed.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2958\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cisv.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/unnamed.png 313w, https:\/\/www.cisv.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/unnamed-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cisv.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/unnamed-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.cisv.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/unnamed-12x12.png 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-131814d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"131814d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Save the Date <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80f84b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"80f84b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>Mini camp <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">1-2-3 November 2024<\/span> &amp; General Assembly <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">3 November<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Sign up for 2025 camps: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">from 4 November to 10 January<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Bern Winter gathering: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">15 December<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">End of January<\/span>: delegations are announced and Parents Q&amp;A (online)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our traditional minicamp will take place on the first weekend of November in Arzier.
