Presentation of the opportunity for volunteering

Since 2012, Iris has been training volunteers to offer their regular presence to anyone feeling isolated, regardless of age, culture or class.

By joining the Iris service, you will be making a commitment to volunteer work and changing the life of an isolated person.
To become a volunteer, you need to take a 20-hour training course, which is being offered in Luxembourg City in May.
We are looking for people who can make visits in the whole country (always same person is visited).
