Volunteer with Fáilte Isteach
What we do
Fáilte Isteach is a national project providing free conversational English classes for migrants. Today there are 140+ Fáilte Isteach classes running throughout the country. Every week approximately 3,000 students are positively impacted by Fáilte Isteach, with over 1500 volunteers offering over 96,000 hours of tuition annually to students from over 75 countries.
Fáilte Isteach works at breaking down the barriers that migrants and communities face by extending the hands of friendship and goodwill through the practical, welcoming and inclusive manner in which the programme is delivered. Fáilte Isteach provides more than the transfer of skills and knowledge. It is making a positive difference to everyone involved.
How you can help
As the project is volunteer-led and we often require new tutors to teach within existing groups as well as hearing from people interested in setting up a new Fáilte Isteach in their community. We offer all our volunteers training, materials and ongoing support.
