Verein MUNTERwegs

With its mentoring program MUNTERwegs develops solidarity and promotes tolerance among people, in particular in order to foster social cohesion. MUNTERwegs has about 40 new mentors and mentées in Central Switzerland which are guided and coached by the team.
Volunteers from 18 years upwards work in the MUNTERwegs organisation as mentors/learning facilitators. Thanks to cooperations with the University of Social Science in Lucerne and the University of Teacher Education PHZ Schwyz, student mentors can also be involved in this programme. Their involvement with MUNTERwegs Mentoring Programme will count towards their university course.
