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 all, Welcome to all the new members! It has been a little quite here. I hope everyone is well and adjusting to the new norm in how we are working. I also wish to introduce to you 2 new courses that are available and delivered online.
In response to both the current COVID 19 pandemic and the future remote working opportunity, LOETB, in collaboration with IDA Ireland, SOLAS and Grow Remote, have created two new online national training programmes that develop the capability and capacity of those wishing to become Remote Workers, current Remote Workers and Line Managers nationally.
'Leading Remote Work Teams' is aimed at Line Managers leading a team that includes remote workers. Note the managers time commitment to the programme will represent the entire company contribution to programme costs.
More info here: https://www.loetb.ie/leading-remote-teams
'Remote Work Ready' is aimed at employees and unemployed people hoping to transition to a remote working role and is fully funded.
More info here: https://www.loetb.ie/remote-work-ready
Both programmes are 100% online, available nationally and are 7 weeks duration.
The Grow Remote national meetup is back this November 1st & 2nd 🙌
Friday 👉 Lightning talks from remote workers and community leaders from across Ireland.
Saturday 👉 Hands-on workshops around accessing remote work, digital spaces, & more.

Hello again!
Thinking of organising a coffee morning or lunch time meet up here in The Junction.
If you are interested let me know.
It would be a great opportunity to meet one another.
Anyone who didn't make it to the conference the videos will be available shortly.
If you have suggestions for topics to discuss at the meet up let me know in advance so I can do some research and see if any of the other chapters have information that they can share with us.
So if you are interested get in touch with me directly and I can schedule a date and time !!
Thanks,
Caroline
