Louth youth charity seeks volunteers

Leading local charity Extern is seeking volunteers with knowledge, skills and experience in areas of music, drama, outdoor pursuits, or cookery, among others, to sign up as part of a new volunteering drive in the Dundalk and Drogheda area.

Youth Engagement Volunteers support Extern’s staff teams to deliver fun and engaging workshops and activities to young people who are vulnerable or marginalised, offering hope and inspiring them to develop their skills and interests.

The charity has been working in Dundalk since 2003 and is currently based locally in the Redeemer Family Resource Centre, and supports marginalised young people across the county and beyond.
