Are you interested in making a difference? Are you passionate about working with young people? Do you relate well with young people from diverse backgrounds?
Future Voices Ireland, an exciting and innovative youth empowerment organisation is currently seeking Volunteer Group Leaders for its Flagship and Step up to the Mark programmes, commencing in January 2014.
We are particularly seeking volunteers who have a youth work background or community development experience working directly with young people from marginalised backgrounds. Additionally, for our new programmes this year, we are seeking volunteers who have a strong experience in campaigning and advocacy.
Volunteer Group Leaders are involved in leading debates and group discussions with the young people participating in the Future Voices project. Volunteering with Future Voices Ireland allows volunteers the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of the young people we work with. Our sessions take place every Saturday between the months of January-July. Volunteers work on a Rota basis so you don’t need to commit to every weekend and if there are particular periods when you are unavailable we can work around this. Please be aware that those selected will be required to undergo Garda vetting and will need to sign a criminal offence disclosure.
We hope to meet for an informal chat with those interested in volunteering. Any queries on volunteering can be addressed to Mairead Healy on (083) 447 0784. If selected, we require all volunteers to undergo training which covers your role as a volunteer and child protection training.
