Volunteer in Ireland

Debate adjudicators
The Concern Debates would not happen without our amazing team of volunteers across the country.
Among our family of volunteers are the adjudicators. There is one adjudicator per debate. The debates are all online for the beginning of the 2022/23 year. The debates will be in person from March - May 2023. Adjudicators mark students according to the Concern Debates marking sheet and will receive training on how to do so.
We are currently recruiting for Debates Volunteers. Please email debates@concern.net for more info or sign up here.

Volunteer at collections
We require collectors to assist our street and church gate collections. The collections are held nationwide at different times throughout the year and usually involve just a few hours once or twice each year. If you think you have the time to spare, please register your interest for further information.
