Introduction

The Corrymeela Community is an Ecumenical Christian Community committed to the work of reconciliation both locally and internationally. In 1965, the Reverend Ray Davey and a group of students from Queens University established a residential centre in Ballycastle where people of all faiths, political opinions and backgrounds could come together.

Corrymeela is a community that draws people together to engage with difference, heal division and support peace reconciliation in Northern Ireland and beyond.

Every year, we welcome thousands of people to our Centre at Ballycastle and into our community-based programmes to explore difference together and discover new ways to live well together. We particularly welcome people who have been marginalised by injustice and inequality, and who have experienced trauma.

Our staff, volunteers and community members are drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and faith traditions, and work together to contribute towards building a more cohesive and hope-filled society for everyone.

Overall Purpose

This  role involves ensuring volunteers are well-supported, engaged and able to contribute to the  peacebuilding mission and community life of Corrymeela.
