You are here: Kick off JCI’s Active Citizenship Week with the National Day of Volunteering
Junior Chambers International in Ireland is encouraging people to become active in their community by participating in Active Citizen week from October 3rd through to the 10th of 2010. How perfect that VCI’s National Day of Volunteering is on October 1st! Why not kick of a week of active citizenship with a once-off volunteering project! JCI’s mascot, Active Alfie, says;
"Over the past twenty five years Ireland has seen some dramatic changes, the Celtic Tiger saw Ireland’s economy boom. However at the expense of this great growth it would seem that some of the magic that held the Irish community together has started to disappear and the fabric of our communities has started to dissolve."
So why not visit his website at www.fifty-ways.com to get fifty easy ways in which the members of the Irish community can become more active citizens and put the magic back into our communities.
