Hi,
I am looking to do a voluntary work in Zurich but i don't know how to about it.

My German is very limited, with voluntearing I hope to improve my German and integrate with the swiss people.

I would like to hear from people currently voluntaring in Zurich.

Thanks

Try the Zürich Zoo.

Animal shelters always need volunteers.

...and in Zug, where do I look there?

If you like animals also animal shelters

Thanks for the advise but I am not good with animals and I'd like to practice my German so I don't think animals will be much help.

I would be interested in working with kids in schools or kindergardens.
Any ideas?

Lots of old folks homes would be happy to have volunteers.
And the tenants as well.

Any idea how I can go about finding it tho? Is there anywhere I can ask directly if they need volunteers?

I have been looking on the internet but can't find anything.
Anyone out there doing any voluntery work who can give me some info?

Thanks

From a long time ago, for animal work:

Volunteering work

I think its a simple matter of calling the 'Altersheim' s in your area. Look em up in the phone book call em and ask them if they need help. They usually do.

I had to work in one once as penance (community service) for a major traffic violation.
And there were volunteers there who came in just to keep the tenants company. To accompany them on walks or outings, hang out chit chat , basically hang around be friendly and helpful ( Even to be entertaining, There was a clown guy who used to come in occasionally and act silly at meal times.)

They said theres no shortage of things to do, and the value added to the lives of the retirees having a young friend around is quite precious.
so volunteers were always welcome. (this was in Baden so way out of the way for you)

But I suspect your phone calls would be met with sincere welcome where ever the Altersheims are.

Give it a shot.
