Volunteering plays an important role in the organisation of the French-speaking chapter and is indispensible to the movement and their projects.

GIT supports the Marche de l’Espoir (March for Hope), flagship event organised since 1990 by Terre des Hommes, every second Sunday of the month of October in Geneva. This event brings together thousands of youths from the Canton and neighbouring France in solidarity with the children and disadvantaged families in the South. Each year a different country and a different theme related to children’s right are put forward in the advocacy work done beforehand in the schools.
