For the 60 to 70 participants with physical challenges, the Mentelity Games are a week to remember. During this journey, they do things, which they no longer thought possible. They have fun, push their limits and develop new self-confidence.

And all of this is only possible with a great group of enthusiastic volunteers. Would you like to help at the Mentelity Games? Read below to find out how. We need almost all volunteers on the mountain to help before, between or during the ski and snowboard lessons. Therefore, it is a requirement for almost all positions that you can ski or snowboard well and have a good physical condition.

Would you like to volunteer? Then leave your information here.

As you fill out the form, you will see what duties are available and can indicate your preference and experience.

Last edition, fortunately, we had a lot of enthusiasm from volunteers. That is great, because without volunteers the Mentelity Games cannot take place. The downside of the great interest from volunteers was that we could not take everyone who had signed up. In order to determine how many volunteers we need for which task, we obviously need to know how many participants are going to the Mentelity Games and whether they are going to be snowboarding, seated skiing, standing skiing or whether they are skiing or snowboarding with a visual challenge, for example. We are therefore dependent on who will be going along to the Mentelity Games as participants and therefore, in some cases, we will not be able to give a definitive answer as to which volunteers will be able to go along until around December-January.

Practical information
Depending on your task, we expect you in Saas Grund on March 22 or 23, 2025. We will arrange accommodation for you including breakfast and your ski pass (if you need it for your task). Travel expenses, lunch and dinner are at your own expense. For transportation we use a carpool website to connect people, so that your travel costs remain as low as possible. For dinner, you can sign up to join us at the volunteer house for a reasonable price (€7.50 per meal).
