Comhlámh's mission is to nurture, guide and mobilise development workers and volunteers to work for social justice locally and globally.

Key Initiatives:

• Raise awareness of the potential of responsible, responsive volunteering to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs;
• Engage with sectors of the public who are considering international volunteering to ensure they are fully informed about good practice in volunteering and can place their volunteering experiences within the wider context of global development;
• Utilise the stories and testimonials of returned volunteers and development workers to deepen public understanding of the development agenda;
• Develop the Code of Good Practice ‘Supporter Network’ across organisations in the Republic and Northern Ireland who will act as multipliers of our messaging on responsible, responsive volunteering;
• Continue to develop and grow our online presence through innovative social media campaigns reaching out to targeted online communities;
• Host key public debates and workshops on various development topics including the ‘First Wednesday Debates’ as a way to connect local and global development issues.
