📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

CTL's volunteer programme allows participants to contribute their skills and energy to support local projects in achieving their goals. We have carefully selected a number of host projects which provide participants with worthwhile and challenging volunteer work programmes. Our volunteer programmes involve an immersion within local communities and the Irish culture. We facilitate an experiential learning experience where participants are “learning by doing”. Participant develop life and vocational skills which will enhance their employability and personal development. We support participants all throughout their experience, from the orientation programme until the final evaluation. Ireland is a wonderful country; it is safe, friendly, rich in heritage, history and culture. From vibrant, exciting cities to spectacular countryside – it’s a magical place to visit. It’s also a wonderful place to stay and immerse yourself. The best part of an experience in Ireland is probably connecting with local people. Visitors find Irish people friendly, welcoming and very supportive. Our Commitments • Selection of projects which positively impact the community • Worthwhile volunteer work programme • Comprehensive orientation on arrival • Ongoing support from project mentor • Back-up support from CTL staff • 24/7 emergency support • Risk Management and Emergency Procedures in place • Affordable cost including pick up, transfer to project, accommodation and food during project

💼 What the programme involves

CTL collaborate with a well-established organisation that operates over 20 centres in Ireland to support people with special needs. The organisation provides a range of support services to people with both physical and mental conditions. The aim of the organisation is to provide quality, person-centred services, which facilitate people with disabilities to live a life of their own choosing. The atmosphere in the project is very warm, friendly and family orientated. The main task for the volunteers is to help the service users to arrange an enjoyable stay in the centres. Volunteers usually have their own rooms which are comfortable and spacious. The projects are looking for friendly, open-minded and team-focused volunteer with a genuine interest in working with adults with disabilities. Minimum time of commitment: 8 weeks (we strongly recommend to stay at least 12 weeks) Volunteer work includes: Spending time socialising with service users within the centre, accompanying service users for activities (cinema, restaurants, shopping), assisting service users using computers, playing games. Optional: assisting staff with personal care and with cooking, cleaning and washing 

🏠 Accommodation on site

Residential Residential accommodation means that the participants are hosted in the project facilities. They are generally sharing the facilities with other international volunteers and can either have a single room or share a bedroom with other volunteers from the same gender. Volunteers find it enjoyable to share accommodations with likeminded people and they generally end up doing activities together during their free time. Food is included in the programme.

🎒 Leisure activities

Ireland is a wonderful place to visit. From vibrant, exciting cities like Dublin, Cork or Galway or Belfast to breath-taking landscapes along the Wild Atlantic Way. Attractions include the world-famous sceneries of Connemara and West Cork, the ring of Kerry, the cliffs of Moher, the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin etc. There is also a multitude of less touristic but equally interesting places to visit and activities to do such as whale watching in county Cork! CTL staff will give participants further information on visits and excursions during their orientation and in the welcome pack.
