Working with Mendicity
Social Enterprise
Our social enterprise offers employment to people experiencing homelessness and addiction. The purpose of our social enterprise is to offer employment and a route out of homelessness to its participants, while generating funds to support Mendicity’s core services. Social enterprise employees work within the Workshop, our coffee truck Hard Ground, and in the service.
Part-time employment is offered to those eligible for Tús. To apply, email workshop@mendicity.org. Applicants must meet qualifying criteria, and applications are subject to qualification by the Department of Social Protection.
Volunteer
For 207 years, Mendicity has been supporting those in homelessness and poverty. Since the organisation’s establishment we have relied on the help of volunteers. Our team of dedicated volunteers work alongside staff to deliver vital services to those who are homeless, particularly in our evening and weekend service. Our volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds, bringing diverse skills to the service.
To apply or learn more about getting involved email kate@mendicity.org. See here for a description of what’s involved in being a volunteer at Mendicity.
