About Foróige

Foróige is the leading youth organisation in Ireland and has been working with young people since 1952. Our purpose is to enable young people to involve themselves consciously and actively in their development and in the development of society.

We work with over 50,000 young people aged 10-18 each year through volunteer-led Clubs and staff-led Youth Projects. Foróige currently operates in 26 counties in Ireland, with more than 600 Foróige Clubs, 150 Youth Projects, the Big Brother Big Sister mentoring programme, the Foróige Youth Entrepreneurship programme, our Youth Citizenship and Youth Leadership programmes.

Foróige works with all young people through our general services. Foróige Clubs, Foróige Juniors, Foróige Interest Clubs, Foróige Youth Cafés encourage young people to take responsibility for themselves and to be part of shaping the world around them while developing their talents, skills and abilities. We also work with vulnerable young people who require additional support through a full range of targeted services.

About Foróige Clubs

A Foróige Club is a space where young people can meet weekly, make decisions together, and shape their own experiences with support from a team of adult volunteers. It’s youth-led, volunteer-supported, and deeply rooted in the local community.

You don’t need a background in youth work – just the passion to help young people grow in confidence, leadership and connection.

What you’ll be doing:

• Volunteering in a club once a week, for about 90 minutes
• Creating a safe, welcoming environment for young people
• Supporting them to plan and lead their own activities
• Building a team of fellow volunteers
• Linking in with your Foróige staff member for training, support and resources
• Helping young people feel proud of where they’re from and excited about what they can do

We’ll support you every step of the way, from getting set up to running your weekly Club nights. You’ll get full training, advice on how to recruit volunteers, and all the materials you need to run a vibrant, youth-led Club.

The impact? Young people with more confidence. A stronger sense of community. And a Club night full of energy, ideas and laughter – run by the young people themselves.

Becoming an adult volunteer leader with us:

• Reference check
• Garda vetting
• Full training provided

If you’re ready to get something started, we’d love to hear from you.

Closing date: 1 January 2026
