The Inspiring the Future Ireland project involves connecting young people in primary and secondary schools with volunteers from the world of work.
We have a database of over 500 volunteers from all areas – Apprentices to CEO’s, Archaeologists to Zoologists, Office workers to Healthcare Professionals pledging just one hour a year to volunteer in a school near where they live or work to talk to young people about there job and career route. Inspire the Future creates opportunities for both student, Volunteer and future employers to engage with each other through work placements, Inspiring events, and so much more.
