Become a Volunteer

Volunteers are the heart and soul of the International Literature Festival Dublin, playing a vital role in bringing this exciting event to life. Every year, we welcome a team of passionate volunteers to help in various roles, from front-of-house duties such as ticket checking, ushering, and customer service, to assisting with audience research, brochure distribution, and more.

As a volunteer, you’ll gain unique access to inspiring literary sessions, connect with fellow book lovers, and experience the magic of the festival from behind the scenes. Whether you’re looking to develop new skills, meet like-minded people, or simply contribute to an unforgettable celebration of literature, volunteering with us is a rewarding and enriching experience.
