Volunteer Leader needed for Foróige

admin January 13, 2015

Bryan Gavin, Regional Youth Officer with Foróige, talks to Noel McGuinness about Foróige, Ireland’s leading youth organisation. He says that Foróige’s purpose is to enable young people to involve themselves consciously and actively in their own development and in the development of society.

Foróige works with 56,000 young people aged 10-18 each year through volunteer-led clubs and staff-led youth projects. It currently operates in 26 counties in Ireland, with 611 Foróige Clubs, 137 youth projects, the Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programme, the Foróige Youth Entrepreneurship programme, Youth Citizenship and Youth Leadership programmes.

Bryan says that they are currently seeking volunteer leaders who will be part of a team operating in the Foróige club structure and positively influencing young people’s lives. He explains that leaders need to have common sense, a positive attitude to young people and be willing to learn the role involved. Leaders will be involved in showing young people how to do things, drawing out their potential and acting as an example the young people can follow.
