Following a weekly schedule, you can do an internship/volunteer with one or more of the following organizations simultaneously and thus get to know a variety of aspects of work and Irish life:
Charity Shop
Charity shops have a long tradition in Great Britain and Ireland. They are used goods stores operated by non-profit organizations, which are often to be found in prime locations in city centers and are heavily frequented. The goods are donated, sold in the shop and the proceeds fund the charitable work of the organization. Typical second-hand goods are books, clothing, furniture, and bric-à-brac.
As an intern/volunteer in a charity shop, you sell goods in the store and present the goods on the shelves. At the sorting office, you sort goods into different categories and repair and clean them for resale.
Municipal Tourist Office
Kerry is one of the most visited tourist regions in Ireland. At the tourist office, you can assist visitors, provide information and support the local team with administrative activities.
Day care center for the elderly
In the day care center for the elderly, you can expand your social skills and play games such as bingo and quizzes with the elderly, serve food or simply chat with them!
Community Development
You will take part in activities of local groups that carry out improvements to the urban space and the environment, e.g. cleaning up, improving parks, playgrounds, etc.
Local events
You will participate in the preparation and implementation of events such as sporting events, music events and festivals.
The rate includes a full day introductory event in Cork City with overnight accommodation and meals, airport pick-up in Cork and public transport transfers to your location. There is also a support staff from the organization at your location. Accommodation on full board with an Irish host family is included.
If you are interested, you can also book English lessons in Dublin or online before your assignment in Kerry. We also organize a wide range of internships in Dublin.
