About Sligo Volunteer Centre
We help people who want to volunteer as well as non-profit groups who need volunteers.
For non-profit groups we provide one-to-one support on all aspects of how to find and keep volunteers of varying interest and skills. We run training courses and workshops on issues concerning all aspects of volunteering and facilitate quarterly Volunteer Co-ordinators Get Togethers and provide a Garda Vetting service. We also advertise groups' volunteer vacancies and refer potential volunteers to them for selection.
For the general public who are thinking of volunteering, we provide a database of current options available in Sligo (and nationwide). We also provide friendly group Volunteer Information Sessions along with one-to-one guidance to help people find satisfying and rewarding volunteering roles.
