An obstacle all clubs run into!
​One problem most clubs have is recruiting volunteers. Usually volunteers are recruited within the club's membership circles. While this proves successful most of the time, there is another way to get people to fill specific roles.

Let's Get Started

Volunteer Ireland is The National Volunteer Development Agency and a support body for Volunteer Centres and Volunteering Information Services in Ireland. I have myself participated in some volunteering groups when I first came to Cork and the process of getting recruited is quite straight forward. I even had to be interviewed for one of the positions which was a specific role within a wildlife organisation.

This is what they do in their own words:
 
  • Volunteers and Volunteering – We promote and celebrate volunteering in Ireland through campaigns such as National Volunteering Week and the Volunteer Ireland Awards. Along with Volunteer Centres across the country we manage I-VOL (the national database of Irish volunteering opportunities and listings).
  • Charities and Not for Profit Organisations – We support national volunteer involving organisations by offering bespoke training, consultancy and an extensive range of online guides and resources on engaging volunteers.
  • Corporate Companies – We also support companies interested in volunteering and offer volunteer management services for large-scale events and festivals.
  • Volunteer Centres and Volunteering Information Services – There are 21 Volunteer Centre and 8 Volunteering Information Services across the country who work with Volunteer Ireland. Volunteer Ireland develops and supports best practice in volunteering and Volunteer Centres, including the evaluation of Volunteer Centres according to a quality standard framework.

Ideas of how to use their servicesYou can display listings of any specific positions that are vacant within your club, such as a treasurer, admin, marketing and PR etc. You may also consider giving something back in exchange for the volunteering role to make it more attrative such as a free yearly membership or a free coaching lesson.

Another idea is to use the website to recruit volunteers for a one off event such as  an open day.

Please note if you are using volunteers for an event that involves children in any way, they would have to be Garda Vetted.
