Civilian service

Perform your civilian service at one of our camps

The FYSA is a placement organisation for civilian service in the field of social services. We offer you short assignments of between 15 and 26 days of civilian service.

You can perform your assignments in one of the following roles:

As a camp leader, you are responsible for planning, managing the leadership team, and running one of our camps. A J+S Camp Sports/Trekking certification is required to be a camp leader.

As a counsellor, you are a part of the team, plan activities, and supervise them during the camp. No J+S certification is required to be a counsellor.

As a cook, you are responsible for the menu planning and cooking for the camp community during the camp. Although no professional culinary training is required, experience in cooking for large groups is necessary.

For more information on eligible service days and assignment dates, please contact Isabelle Stebler at roth@sjas.ch or via the E-ZIVI portal.

If you are interested and would like to sign up for a placement with the FYSA, please apply using our ‘Camp leadership’ form.
