Volunteering

Would you consider volunteering with Ballyconnell CU?

Here at Ballyconnell Credit Union, we pride ourselves on providing a friendly and professional financial service to all our members throughout the community. We rely on the enthusiasm and commitment of our volunteers, without whom we wouldn’t be able to achieve our goals.

Why Volunteer?

At the heart of every credit union are its volunteers. The credit union movement is built upon the efforts of thousands of
volunteers who give freely of their time and skills in the spirit of co-operation. Each credit union has a team of volunteers and the Board of every credit union is
drawn from members who have the enthusiasm, commitment, skills and knowledge to lead and achieve its strategic goals. It welcomes people with a
diverse range of skills, competencies and experience. Whether you have an hour or two to spare or can commit to more time, there may be a role for you.
Finance, IT, marketing, investments, legal and communication skills are particularly welcome but it is also your life/work experience that can contribute to
the Credit Union. Policies, procedures and training are in place to support volunteers and in addition to the induction training provided for all new volunteers,
ongoing training is available and people are encouraged to develop new skills. Committees offer an excellent starting point for new volunteers. These
committees provide experience, learning and an active role within the Credit Union.

Becoming a volunteer means you can:

  • Gain skills and experience in a financial organisation
  • Access free education and training
  • Develop your personal skills
  • Meet new people from the community
  • Gain experience of working on developmental and business projects
  • Give something back to your community
  • Help shape the future of your local credit union
