First Friend Ireland

Our work

Volunteering

Recruiting, training and supporting the volunteers who carry out First Friend Ireland's work on the ground.

First Friend Ireland is, and will remain, a voluntary-led organisation. This programme area is about building a well-supported volunteer movement — with clear roles, proper training, and safeguarding practice — rather than treating volunteering as an afterthought.

What this includes

  • Recruiting and training volunteers and facilitators
  • Ongoing support, supervision and safeguarding guidance for volunteers
  • Capacity-building for the wider voluntary movement behind the organisation's work

Who this is for

  • Prospective volunteers
  • Existing volunteers
  • Chapter coordinators
