Volunteering is the foundation of club sport in Switzerland. Of the approximately 350,000 positions that need to be filled in Swiss club sport, a good 335,000 are unpaid. According to a study by Swiss Olympic, volunteers provide services with a “hypothetical value” of around two billion francs each year.<\/p>\n
This results in around 75 million hours of voluntary work per year. 44 million hours are provided by volunteers, the rest are work by helpers. This makes it clear why the study describes volunteering as the “foundation”. However, the outlook for the future is not entirely optimistic. There are many concerns. The clubs are often dependent on the commitment of a few people. Recruiting and integrating volunteers is becoming increasingly difficult.<\/p>\n
On today’s Volunteer Day, the Challengers Baseball & Softball Club Zurich would like to thank all of its volunteer members and all of its helpers for their commitment to the club, to the sport, and to our youth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
