How does it work?
1
You sign up
You must meet the following requirements to volunteer with us:
- Be at least 16 years old
- Be in very good physical condition
- Be a Swiss national or hold a C or F permit, or have authorization to work in Switzerland
- Have accident insurance
- Be able to communicate in French

You attend an introduction session
You’ll visit a ColiShop and get an overview of what to expect (tasks, organization).
Each beneficiary checks in at the reception of their ColiShop and goes through a 7-counter path to collect their groceries. At each station, volunteers are there to:
- Stock shelves
- Scan their digital card
- Serve them

You manage your schedule via our platform
You’ll have access to our internal platform where you can sign up for shifts and help out at one of our two ColiShops: Charmilles (Geneva) or Blavignac (Carouge).
On the day of your shift, once on-site, a position will be assigned to you.

Would you like to support Colis du Coeur through a corporate initiative?
Companies today are developing CSR strategies that put people back at the center.
The Colis du Coeur Foundation is happy to welcome such initiatives and has set up a corporate volunteering format to allow employees to volunteer during their working hours.
