Voluntary commitment plays a crucial role in our society, and particularly in the sports sector. In Geneva, as elsewhere, it contributes significantly to the quality and organization of sports activities as well as to various sports-related events.
Support for clubs and associations in recruiting volunteers
THE support for clubs and associations in recruiting volunteers is also part of Sports Master Plan 2022-2030 defined by the administrative advisor Marie Barbey-Chpuis. “Without volunteers, there would be no Escalade Race, Geneva Marathon, or any popular sporting event,” recalls the magistrate in charge of the Department of Security and Sports (DSSP). “It is essential to help the 800 sports clubs in Geneva to maintain their pool of volunteers by developing an incentive ecosystem”, emphasizes Marie-Barbey-Chpuis.
Sports Volunteer Day

A second similar event will take place on December 13, 2023.
