You are here: 50th International Eucharistic Congress 2012 Launches a final Call for Volunteers
More than 1,000 people have already signed up as volunteers with this year’s 50thInternational Eucharistic Congress 2012 (IEC2012) but hundreds of different roles still remain for people interested in participating in this significant international event.
The clock is ticking for people who’d like to get involved as the closing date for registration with the Volunteer Programme is only one month away on 17 March 2012.
Around 25,000 pilgrims a day are expected to attend the RDS venue between 10 and 16 June, while 80,000 participants will gather to celebrate the final event in Croke Park on 17 June.
Volunteers will engage in a diverse range of assignments, including: event services, medical services, media relations and logistics. A number of roles are also available in pre-Congress activities that include administration, marketing, IT and many other areas.
Places are still available for people willing to assist in the lead up to this international event or during the Congress week itself (10 – 17 June 2012). Anyone interested should be available to volunteer for a minimum of five days between 6th June and 19th June 2012. Volunteers will be fully trained in advance of the Congress.
IEC2012 offers job seekers the ideal opportunity to enhance their CV and brush up on specific skills in today’s competitive jobs market. Full details of volunteering and the application form can be found at www.iec2012.ie/volunteer or contact (01) 234 9919.
