Volunteering Options programme (set up by Comhlámh in 2004 and funded by Development Cooperation Ireland) was established in response to the growing interest among the Irish public in volunteering overseas in developing countries for short periods of anything up to a year. Comhlámh has provided advice and orientation for people interested in overseas development work for over 30 years.

In recent times, we have seen an increasing demand for our services from people who are interested in shorter term volunteering.



Comhlámh's Volunteering Options programme aims to develop best practice in the growing sector of overseas volunteering, and to support volunteers in a longer-term commitment to development.
