Launching the I-VOL app, Minister Canney said:
“I am delighted to support this important new initiative which will make it easier than ever for people to find a volunteer role. Over half of the users on IVOL over the last year accessed IVOL from a mobile or tablet. This initiative takes it one step further by allowing users to access the IVOL database through their smartphone. It also allows volunteers to track their own profile on the app and keep track of their applications and log their volunteer hours”
This initiative is one of a suite of measures funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development to support and encourage volunteering in Ireland.
The I-VOL app is available to download now in the App Store and Google Play Store.
