About Green Party Ireland
The Green Party is a political Party founded on the principles of peace, democracy, social justice, protection of the environment and sustainable use of our natural resources. The Green Party is the only party in Ireland where members have a direct say in all decisions. Members contribute to policy development and decide who stands for election.
What's Involved
Irish politics needs a Green voice.
In order to ensure that the Green voice is strengthened in Irish politics we need to prepare now for the General Election in 2016.
In order to maximise the potential of getting a number of TDs elected we need to attract new energy, vitality and vigour to the party to provide practical support to selected candidates with their campaign and the party’s campaign generally. The purpose of the role is to ensure that the Green Party attracts new volunteers to perform a wide range of mission critical tasks leading up to the next general election.
You as the recruiter will be in the forefront of attracting and retaining these volunteers. Throughout your local region or throughout Ireland. Without you, we don’t have the volunteers we need. Without volunteers we can’t compete and win.
