Corrymeela recruits many Short-Term Volunteers each year who join the community for a few days at a time, usually at weekends, and work alongside the
Long-Term Volunteers and Programme Staff. This gives them an ideal opportunity to meet new people and learn new skills from a new diverse group of people. Their additional skills and support throughout the year are vital to Corrymeela.
Short-Term Volunteers engage with Corrymeela at a variety of levels. There are those who live locally and help with specific tasks such as Reception, Housekeeping and Kitchen work. For others, volunteering for a weekend involves either working directly with a group staying overnight or helping out with other important administration or maintenance tasks.
Regular training weekends are provided to help introduce new Short-Term Volunteers to Corrymeela's guidelines and procedures. Read all about one volunteers experience of her first Corrymeela Short term Volunteer Training Weekend.
