Join the Wicklow Community Volunteers Team!
Joining our Community Volunteers Team allows you to volunteer locally in a flexible way that suits your schedule. At the same time, you will be helping local community groups and causes that you care about. The team of volunteers is managed and supported at events by a staff member from the Wicklow Volunteer Centre .
As a Community Volunteer, there will be a variety of roles that you can take part in. Some will suit those who are comfortable being outdoors and on their feet. Once you are signed up, we will share different volunteer opportunities with you. These roles are specifically styled for the Community Volunteer Team.
Volunteers just need to be enthusiastic, reliable, and able to volunteer within a diverse team. Often, you will need to be comfortable dealing with new people and relating to the public in a positive and friendly way.
