Volunteering is unpaid work to help people or the environment.
In Switzerland, many people do tasks voluntarily, without receiving any money. For example, to organise a festival or give French classes.
Much of this work is done in associations.
People can get involved in associations for culture, sport, personal care, education, animal and nature protection, health and many other things.
Bénévolat Jura provides information on volunteering and opportunities to get involved.
