In order to enhance the work that we do Ceartas are looking to recruit volunteers with an interest in the services we provide. We are running a 3 week programme “Introduction to volunteering with Ceartas”. The programme will begin on 12th May 2010 and will look at volunteering opportunities within the organisation, find out about the work that we do and offer a chance to meet some of the staff.
