Volunteer
Becoming a volunteer with Depaul UK will be a challenge but it will also be very rewarding. Whether you help in our offices doing administration or research, raise much needed funds to support Depaul UK's projects and services, act as a personal mentor to a young person or help out at our accommodation projects, you will know at the end of each day that your work has had a positive impact on somebody's life.
All you need is a little bit of time and a large amount of enthusiasm. You can commit to a one off event, an evening a week or even part time, whatever suits you.
