Volunteering Ireland Membership
Does your organisation involve volunteers or support volunteering?
Do you manage, supervise or coordinate volunteers?
Then you and your organisation should join Volunteering Ireland!
Full membership to Volunteering Ireland is open to non-profit organisations that
involve volunteers in their work or support volunteering.*
Our members comprise many types of organisations working in a variety of sectors,
including Arts, Culture and Media, Animals and Environment, Social Work, Sports
and Recreation, and everything in between.
Our member organisations range from large non-profits operating with many staff
and volunteers to small organisations with only a few staff members as well as
organisations comprised entirely of volunteers.
