If you're looking for an opportunity to use or develop your skills, meet people who share your concerns and make a difference, then volunteering with Christian Aid could be for you.
Watch: four ways you could volunteer
How will you get involved?
You bring time, enthusiasm and your unique perspective to our work.
Christian Aid Ireland offers support, training and a chance to develop your skills.
Above all, you'll put your commitment into action and make a real difference to some of the world's poorest people.
What can you do as a Christian Aid volunteer?
All sorts! Volunteers are needed to run events, speak about our work, help out in our offices, lead school assemblies, get stories in the local media and much more.
We welcome volunteers all year round in all our Ireland offices in Dublin, Belfast and Cork, whether you have just a few hours, days or even a whole year to spare.
Getting involved is easy.
If you're in Northern Ireland you can use our searchable database to see if any of our offices near you have a vacancy that suits you, and apply online.
Once we've received your application, we'll get in touch and may invite you to an informal interview. You'll also need to give us the names of two referees. If we feel the volunteering opportunity is not right for you, we’ll let you know.
Where volunteering involves contact with children or young people, you'll need to be checked with the CRB (or national equivalent).
