Serve The City Geneva

About Us

The homeless, refugees, the disabled, victims of abuse. We know them by their needs … What if we knew them by name?

Welcome!

Serve The City Geneva is an organisation that aims to mobilize volunteers by partnering with existing organisations that are already serving the poor and marginalised. By mobilising resources in the form of volunteers to organisations, we believe we can impact individual lives and the communities we serve. We partner with homeless shelters, refugee centres, orphanages, and other associations, and invite volunteers to show kindness through practical help and support. We have been working in Geneva since 6 September 2010.

Mission

Serve the City Geneva’s mission is to provide volunteer resources to organizations serving the poor and marginalized of Geneva.

Vision

Our vision is a city in which individuals and communities experience personal, social, environmental, and economic wellbeing by means of the commitment of volunteers who want to serve their neighbors. Our strategy is thus to:

  • facilitate volunteer recruitment,
  • serve the population through empowerment,
  • support our affiliates with volunteers and financial aid,
  • foster mutual transformation: our own and those we serve.

Serve The City Geneva projects are often simple. Our recent activities have included: Meeting People

  • renovating community centers and gardens,
  • serving in Soup Kitchens in the area,
  • wrapping Christmas toys for children,
  • working with local zoos for environmental change,
  • spending time with the elderly, and
  • serving handicapped children.

We are looking for several people to join our committee. The role descriptions are here.
