Volunteer
Without the generosity of volunteers we would not be able to reach the people who need our support. Volunteers are involved right across COPE Galway - from our Board of Directors, to our community services to our network of fundraising events. Simply by giving of your time you will make a difference in a vulnerable person’s life.

- work in a pleasant environment
COPE Galway offers our volunteers:
