Volunteer with us
Babywearing Ireland is entirely volunteer-led. Everything we do — from our local sling libraries to the national organization — is made possible by people who simply want to support their community.
Why volunteering matters
Our volunteers are the heart of Babywearing Ireland. They show up for new parents at an overwhelming time, offering a kind word, a well-fitted carrier, and the reassurance that they're not alone. It's a small commitment with a big impact — and most of our volunteers will tell you they get just as much out of it as the families they support. No two libraries look the same, and that's what makes this community so special.

Local library coordinator
Run or help manage a sling library in your area. You'll guide families through carrier options, offer fit checks, and create a welcoming space for caregivers to connect. Full training and ongoing support are provided — no experience necessary to get started.
Board member
Help shape the direction of Babywearing in Ireland at a national level. Board positions are open to volunteers who want to contribute to the organization's governance, planning, and growth. All backgrounds welcome. Full descriptions of roles are available here.
