Centrepoint is made by members for members. Our social events, vernissages, talks, tours, language conversation groups and activity groups reflect the interests and efforts of our members. All events and groups as well as the Library, the monthly magazine and Centrepoint itself are organised, run and staffed by our Members.
All skills and interests can find a home in Centrepoint. Examples for typical volunteering opportunities are:
„Meeting wonderful people, at conversation groups made my integration to Basel so much easier.“
„At Centrepoint I love working together with dedicated and skilled people on the communications team.“
There are many advantages to volunteering. For example:
„I really enjoy being a volunteer at Centrepoint. It gives me meaning and purpose as well as plentiful opportunities to socialise with the members of this great community.“
„I am enjoying my volunteering engagement for the highly diverse community at Centrepoint!“
The Activities Coordinator manages and coordinates the Activities Team. This team is responsible for the conversation groups, the Library Team, trips, talks, apéros, the ArtWall, coffee mornings, other Centrepoint groups and social events, providing Centrepoint with a diverse range of interesting activities each year.

Centrepoint is looking for a fluent French speaker to lead a conversation group. The leader can decide on the language level and content, and can choose the time and frequency of the group. If you are interested, please contact Alison at conversations[at]centrepoint.ch
If you are interested in volunteering, please send an email to our Volunteers Coordinator at volunteers[at]centrepoint.ch to discuss opportunities.
„Almost anything can be interesting if you dig deep enough. That’s why I agreed to take over as Talks Coordinator – and because nothing virtual can ever match the concentration and excitement of a live, in-person event.“
„Centrepoint is the result of a unique vision and a dedicated team of volunteers. I am proud of what all of us, from the oldest to the newest members, have accomplished over the years. May our "home" in the beautiful Lohnhof continue to thrive as a place where everyone feels welcome, enjoys meeting people and has the urge to get involved.“
