Laois Volunteer Centre CLG

Laois Volunteer Centre Company Limited by Guarantee is an independent, not‑for‑profit organisation dedicated to connecting people with meaningful volunteering opportunities across County Laois. Acting as a “one‑stop shop” for both individuals and community groups, the centre helps residents discover roles that match their interests and skills while supporting organisations in building and managing a vibrant volunteer workforce.

For volunteers, the centre offers up‑to‑date information on available placements, personalised advice on finding the right fit, and access to the I‑VOL app – a mobile platform that lets users register interest, browse roles and sign up on the go. For charities, clubs and other groups, the service suite includes assistance in recruiting suitable volunteers, designing structured and rewarding roles, practical guidance on volunteer engagement, Garda vetting for organisations without an authorised signatory, and free or low‑cost training on topics such as vetting and volunteer management. All vacancies can be posted directly through the I‑VOL app, streamlining the recruitment process.

By bridging the gap between eager volunteers and organisations that need help, Laois Volunteer Centre strengthens community ties and fosters a culture of active citizenship throughout the county.
