Full-time Volunteering


Léargas / EU’s Erasmus+ programme support our full-time volunteering.
We have 18 full-time volunteers at any one time from Ireland and around the world giving their time, skills and experience to Cork Simon Community.
Full-time volunteers from Ireland and around the world come to Cork Simon to work alongside our skilled staff at all of our services. Full-time volunteers typically spend nine to twelve months with us as an integral part of the team. They bring skills, energy and diversity to the work we do.
