Job Descriptions
In our increasingly divided world, Corrymeela is a movement of people rallied around one inspirational idea: “Together is better”.
Every year we welcome over 8,000 people from all walks of life, to our beautiful Ballycastle home and into our programmes in communities around Northern Ireland.
We deeply believe that everyone is welcome, whatever their background, ethnicity, faith, sexuality or nationality.
We welcome everyone — because together is better.
From programmes enabling young people to tackle sectarianism, to supporting survivors of racism and homophobia, we work relentlessly to tackle intolerance, hatred and oppression.
We challenge injustice — because together is better.
As we hear each other’s story, we learn how to live well with each other.
We change ourselves — because together is better.
And, we’d love to welcome you.
Because Together is better.
The Corrymeela Horizons Programme is a unique opportunity to spend a year living at our Ballycastle Centre assisting our team as they deliver programmes for scores of groups from different backgrounds, enabling them to nurture deeper relationships and explore how to live well together. During the year, we provide mentoring, coaching and training to enable our Horizon volunteers to develop their skills in group work, peace-building and conflict transformation, which will benefit them in their future lives.
