Volunteering in Ballinaglera: Good Energies 2023 2024
Date start: 01 Mar 2023
Date end: 31 May 2024
Three volunteers needed on long-term ESC. Good Energies 2023 is a 15-month project, starting in March 2023, that combines climate action with community development. It uses the enthusiasm and skills of our ESC volunteers to address the current climate crisis by promoting environmental and climate protection and resilience, monitoring energy production and use in Ireland and elsewhere. Another objective of the project is to involve ESC volunteers in the management and development of our community hall and local programmes set up to support local older people and youth. This will give our volunteers experience in campaigning, social media and publicity, democratic systems and actions, community interaction and empowerment. It will raise awareness of ESC locally, and, as well as hosting, we will act as a sending organisation recruiting local ESC volunteers. Our volunteers will be supported through mentoring, supervision and training to achieve high-quality learning outcomes.
