Volunteer
Volunteering with First Fortnight offers a warm and meaningful way to support our work throughout the year. During the festival, volunteers help us welcome audiences, support artists, create inclusive spaces, and bring events to life across multiple counties. Outside the festival, volunteers play an important role in community focused projects, creative initiatives, and the ongoing work that helps us challenge mental health stigma. Whether you have a few hours to give or want to be more involved, every contribution makes a real difference and helps us build a more open, creative, and supportive approach to mental health across Ireland.

Support our festival and year round work
Volunteering with First Fortnight offers a meaningful way to be part of a national movement that uses creativity to challenge stigma and open conversations about mental health. During the festival, volunteers help us welcome audiences, support artists, create inclusive spaces, and ensure each event runs smoothly. Outside the festival, volunteers contribute to community projects, creative initiatives, and ongoing activities that help us reach people who may not have access to traditional supports. Whether you are giving a few hours or joining us regularly, you will play a valued role in making our work possible and helping us bring creativity, connection, and care to communities across Ireland.
