Why volunteer?
.
Most people join us because they want to make a difference to people living in poverty, take a career break, broaden their horizons or experience travel in a more meaningful way. What our volunteers often find is they get more out of volunteering than they expect; new skills, fresh approaches and greater confidence to draw on in the future.
Whether you're just thinking about volunteering, or are ready to apply now, apply here. It takes 20 minutes and, if you're not ready to volunteer yet, we'll stay in touch until you are. If you are ready, we'll ask for more info to complete your application. At this stage, you can't save your application, so please have to hand details of relevant work experience and qualifications, including dates.
VSO runs and participates in events all over Ireland to provide information to prospective volunteers. Come and find out about the application process, the countries we work in and the skills we are looking for. Find out first-hand what volunteering is like by chatting to a recently returned volunteer.
