Looking to engage your employees in meaningful volunteering while meeting your ESG and CSRD goals? Volunteer Ireland offers a range of structured opportunities to suit your needs. Join our Calendar Projects for pre-planned activities, take part in Team Impact Days—flexible, company-led events where you choose the date and project that aligns with your goals—or collaborate on Large-Scale Partner Programmes for customised, high-impact initiatives.

Have you been tasked with organising a volunteering opportunity for your work team? Are you wondering where to start?
If so, we encourage you to join our weekly online Employee Volunteering Information Session. Whether you have a team of 6 or 60, these sessions will give you the essential information you need to successfully plan your volunteer activity. We share ideas on the types of volunteering you could consider. We discuss the needs and expectations of community groups and the general Do’s and Don’ts of corporate volunteering.
Information sessions are hosted weekly on Fridays from 11:00 to 12:00. You only need to attend once as we cover the same topics each week.
Wondering how best to plan your team volunteer day? Thinking about developing an employer supported volunteer programme? If so, check out our Resource Library! Here you'll find all you need. There are volunteer engagement ideas, How to Guides a list of our FAQs, checklists to guide you when planning a team activity, a sample risk assessment for your project, and painting guidelines for the community project you've signed up for.
Volunteer Ireland’s corporate programme has developed an ethos to guide us in our work with our corporate partners. Our ethos includes the following statement:
‘At all times, we aim to support the most vital needs in our community. We do this by mainly partnering with small, local, grassroots organisations and DEIS schools. These groups would not otherwise have access to corporate support. We continuously endeavour to ensure that our work is meaningful, impactful and relevant to those with the highest level of need.’
