The inspiringthefuture.ie website is now live. Volunteers can pledge their involvement in the project and give one hour of their time a year to inspire young people in a school near where they work or live by registering on the website. Schools can also register their interest and request volunteers through the website.
This short clip showcases the launch event and captures some of the atmosphere, enthusiasm and fantastic networking opportunity which was present in the room at the launch event. We hope that all who attended had an enjoyable, worthwhile experience. We are excited to start the Inspiring the Future Ireland pilot project in South County Dublin
