Fingal Coffee Mornings
We are back… with our monthly digital knowledge sharing sessions!!
Take a break and join Fingal Volunteer Centre team and other organisation members like you in a casual chat about a topic related to volunteering.
The FVC team will share information about the topic and then floor will be open for discussion.
This month topic is “writing a volunteer role”. It is often the first impression that a volunteer has about your organisation. So lets get together and share tips on how to make it impactful.
To register for this month’s meetup, send an email with your details to volunteers@volunteerfingal.
