Join the COPE Galway Volunteer Team
Current Volunteer Opportunities
The men and women who volunteer across our services and departments make a world of a difference. We could not deliver the services we offer without their generous support and dedication.
We have long term (up to six months) and occasional volunteering roles in our services, shop, fundraising events and administration teams. Some volunteer roles may need skills, but mostly all we need is passion and a desire to make a difference.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with COPE Galway.
We do not have any open volunteer opportunities at the moment. Please do check again as we will have more roles available soon. You can also email volunteer@copegalway.ie to let our team know you are looking to volunteer with COPE Galway.
