Explore learning, volunteering and leisure around your own interests.

Begin with your interests

Would you like to learn, meet people, move more or share knowledge? Volunteering is not an obligation. Choose something that fits your interests and circumstances.

Choose a provider portal

benevol Aargau offers regional volunteering information. benevol-jobs.ch is a search platform for roles. PluSport links sport clubs and activities. Pro Senectute Aargau provides information about later-life activities. The portals below are starting points, not places confirmed available by PCHO.

Ask before applying

  • Where does it happen, and how would you get there?
  • Which language is used? Is a clear description available?
  • What are the costs and participation requirements?
  • Which adjustments are possible, and who can confirm them?
  • How much time is involved? Can you first ask questions or find out more?

A general description as inclusive does not establish whether an activity meets your needs. Ask for confirmation of the access arrangements that matter to you.

Continue with the provider

Apply through the organisation's own website. PCHO does not collect CVs, medical records or applications and does not promise placements. When nothing suits you, you can return to the provider portals later. PCHO does not promise a publication schedule it cannot maintain.
