Leitrim Volunteer Festival set for local historic dance hall this May
Leitrim Volunteer Festival will be held on May 29th at the Rainbow Ballroom, with around 30 local volunteers set to attend
The Leitrim Volunteer Festival is set to take place on the 29th May at the Rainbow Ballroom of Romance in Glenfarne, bringing together community spirit and opportunity under one roof.
Organised by the Leitrim Volunteer Centre, the event will host up to 30 volunteer-involving organisations and aims to attract a large number of potential volunteers from across the county.
The goal is to create meaningful connections and match volunteers with organisations that offer rewarding and impactful roles in the community.
Josephine Stroker, Manager of the Leitrim Volunteer Centre, said the festival is building on the success of last year’s event, which was held in Drumshanbo: “This year we want to get as many potential volunteers as possible to the event. It’s a great opportunity to get to know the fantastic community and voluntary organisations across Leitrim and beyond, and to learn about the wonderful work they do.”
The festival offers attendees the chance to speak directly with local groups, learn about current volunteering opportunities, and explore how their skills and time can make a real difference.
The Leitrim Volunteer Centre provides ongoing support to volunteers and non-profit organisations across the county. Their services include volunteer placement, management training, Garda vetting, and advisory support. The Centre is affiliated with Volunteer Ireland and is funded by the Government of Ireland.
All are welcome to attend the festival. Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or simply curious about how you can give back, the event promises a warm welcome and a wealth of opportunities to get involved.
