Volunteer Ireland
Awards 2019 Launched
The 2019 Volunteer Ireland Awards are now open for nominations. Each
year we ask the public to nominate their friends, family, colleagues
and fellow volunteers for a national Volunteer Ireland award so we
can say thank you to those special people who give so much.

Making a nomination is quick and easy and it can all be done online.
Everyone who is nominated will receive a special 'thank you' card
from Volunteer Ireland to show our appreciation for everything that
they do. Following a tough judging process, 30 volunteers will be
shortlisted and one will be named Christine Buckley Volunteer of the
Year at a ceremony in December.

You can read more about the awards here -

doing extraordinary things in communities across Ireland and make a
nomination today.

New Tool To Track Volunteer
Skills Launched
A new online tool from the National Youth Council of Ireland to help
young people highlight skills gained in volunteering and youth work
activities is now available.

Skills Summary is an easy to use online tool that measures the skills
young people gain by participating in out of school opportunities,
such as leadership, problem solving, teamwork and adaptability. It
builds young people`s confidence in helping them realise the life
skills that they already have and communicate the value of these
skills to future employers, supporting CV and job interview
preparation.

Learn more about Skills Summary and how it can help you here -

researcher, lecturer and parent to two small children - she wanted to

volunteer role she has taken on and how even 15 minutes of your time
can make a difference.
