A STRATEGY FOR DUBLIN GAA 2011-2017 theme 4: RESOURCING THE VOLUNTEER The volunteer in the GAA is the most important person to the Association. Volunteers are in essence the lifeblood of the GAA and always have been since its inception. The role of the ‘volunteer’ is in effect the pursuit of a vocation, in the service of others, and without them the Association has no future. It is the incredible work carried out by thousands of volunteers, young and old, male and female, from every single walk of life which drives this remarkable organisation and keeps it fresh, relevant and a critically important part of the lives of Irish people. Being involved in the GAA gives a sense of fulfilment which is unrivalled. It brings membership of the biggest club in Ireland, puts one right at the heart of Irish culture and provides a pastime for every member of the family. However, the challenge facing Dublin GAA is to open the door to all potential volunteers and keep that door open. We need to provide volunteers with the necessary resources, skills and support to carry out their duties in administering and managing their clubs. The following are the key strategic objectives under this theme: 1. To ensure adequate resources are in place to assist the volunteer in their activities. 2. To create the environment and programmes for life stage volunteering. 3. To provide the resources that will assist clubs in growing and dealing with the unique characteristics of their area. These objectives will be achieved through the realisation of the following Key Actions: KEY ACTIONS OWNERSHIP MILESTONES DESIRED OUTCOME KA1 Development a life stage volunteer recruitment and continuous training strategy.
