Grow Remote

Valentia Island Development Company

Valentia Island, Co. Kerry, Ireland

The Meitheal is at the core of us. The Meitheal is a tradition from old rural Ireland where a community would come together in a time of need. Grow Remote was built by many people who donated their time, skills, or even encouragement to the mission.

We grew from a volunteer group to a government-funded, award winning non-profit.

The world of remote work can seem fragmented. As community developers, we felt there was no place to find all of the information in one place. We started to crowdsource everything from the jobs boards to the list of companies who employ remotely. We then made this information available free of charge.

Becoming a Remote Advocate

As we went on, we focused on making public our kit for building local communities. We found that lots of people preferred to become Remote Advocates - individual contributors who wish to make change in their own way. Not everyone has the capacity to lead their local community from the ground up as a grassroots organiser, so we empower you to make change as a Remote Advocate.

One simple conversation can open up opportunities for those who perhaps felt there were no jobs in their town or can dispel the notion that all remote work is freelance work.

Remote Advocates play a pivotal role in the change we want to make in the world. For the first time, individuals can create employment in their community simply by becoming educated on the topic and letting others know about the opportunities available locally.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Eamon Kennedy and I'm from Co. Tipperary, I am currently writing my master thesis at Radboud University in the Netherlands. I’m writing it on how trust, communication and control affected the performance of remote workers in Ireland during the Covid-19 pandemic. To complete this thesis, I need to conduct interviews with different people who worked remotely during the pandemic. I am therefore wondering if any of you would be available around the end of May for about a 30/35 minute interview via Skype or by phone.

Seeing as I am based in the Netherlands it is difficult to find people working in Ireland to interview so it would be greatly greatly appreciated. My email is [email protected] and my mobile is +353872437033 if you wish to get in touch. otherwise if you know anyone that would be able to help me please let me know (whether it is an individual or an organisation).

Thanks a mill in advance!
Eamon

Hi everyone! I just found this group and I think this is a great opportunity to connect. To introduce myself, I'm Nadia and I'm currently living in Germany. I'm trying to relocate to the area of South Kerry. I am looking for job opportunities in the area, or remote, which would enable me to move to the area. I hope to get great contacts :)

I know it comes late, I see you work at Fexco. I applied already here :) although there seems to be a problem with the application form. I can't fill in the gaps with the *. I already tried contacting them, but I haven't received a reply yet. And thank you for the programme tip! Valentia Island is truly beautiful, so I hope to find something soon! :)
