This is a great opportunity to engage transition year students looking for work experience, college-bound students looking to improve their employability.

Parents, guardians and children looking to engage in family volunteering, immigrants looking to meet people and learn about their locality, individuals looking for once-off micro volunteering opportunities that fit their schedule, professionals looking to share their knowledge, and retirees looking to continue to be active.

There is something out there for everyone and we can help you find a volunteering opportunity that suits your interests.
Individuals considering volunteering or have questions about what it entails are encouraged give the staff at Leitrim Volunteer Centre a call.

They will be happy to help you identify what kinds of skills, knowledge and experience you would like to develop when giving your time to an organisation.

They can also help you think about your interests and the kind of organisation that you would like to support.
The Centre also provides advice, training, and consultancy to local organisations on a range of issues relating to best practice in volunteer management and delivers a Garda Vetting service for local non-profits.
