WWF Switzerland is a non-profit organization (NPO) which is involved in various projects worldwide in the field of environment and animal welfare. For many NPOs, working with volunteers is an enrichment and of great importance. Doing unpaid work abroad for a good cause is a widespread phenomenon in our society. However, there are also certain challenges and difficulties with this cooperation. This thesis analyses the benefits of volunteering for an NPO and the obstacles associated with it. In addition, important criteria are identified which are prerequisites for volunteering projects so that they bring the greatest possible benefit for both the NPO and the volunteer. This is determined by means of a qualitative survey. ER
