Dear Clubs
We’re excited to invite your club representatives to a series of three engaging and interactive 2-hour online workshops, all designed to support you in recruiting, recognising, and retaining your volunteers. These sessions will be delivered via Zoom and will include breakout rooms, open discussions, and the opportunity to share best practices with other clubs facing similar challenges and successes.
Each workshop will be facilitative and solution-focused, helping you develop practical strategies while connecting with others across the athletics community.
Workshop 1: Recruiting Volunteers
Date:Monday 12th May, 19:00 – 21:00

Learn how to encourage club members and the wider community to get involved with your club, understand what motivates volunteers, and create clear role descriptions that attract the right people.
Workshop 2: Retaining Volunteers
Date:Wednesday 21st May, 19:00 – 21:00
https://eventmaster.ie/event/BYxWs23c8j
Discover how to create a welcoming environment, keep volunteers engaged and supported over time, and build a plan to strengthen their long-term connection to your club.
Workshop 3: Recognising & Rewarding Volunteers
Date:Monday 9th June, 19:00 – 21:00

Explore meaningful ways to recognise and reward your volunteers, both formally and informally, to boost motivation and retention while celebrating their impact.
We hope your club can join us for one—or all—of these sessions. They’re a great opportunity to share experiences, find practical solutions, and build stronger volunteer foundations for your club’s future.
