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 all,

Hello Grow Remote Tullamore members,
Are you here because you are passionate about remote work and helping others to live, work and participate locally?
If yes, we are looking for volunteers to be part of the Chapter Lead Team and help make remote work local in Tullamore
Chapter lead team members typically get involved with:
- Arranging local meet-ups to connect local remote workers. Think coffee or after work drinks or hosting a remote worker event with guest speakers or joining other community events together as a remote worker group.
- Raise awareness of the remote employers that we are friends with and the other +55K remote jobs available. Think about sharing remote jobs online or at offline events and places.
- Helping others learn more about the skills needed to work remotely through your own knowledge and experience or directing them to any of the free short training courses available.
- Connecting and collaborating with local hubs / co-working spaces as a place to work from for your chapter members and visitors to the local area.
We also have a FREE training course that will start on Monday 22nd Nov. This is where we share our “Community in a Box” through a mix of self paced online learning and live sessions that will help you get an insight to Grow Remote & local chapters, build new skills and give you access to community resources.
Drop me a message or an email to [email protected] to connect for a chat and find out more about how you can get involved and how we can support you.
