Volunteering

In this section you can read about the first-hand experience of TCD volunteers on campus, in the local community and abroad.

Campus based volunteers talk about their work with the Bridge2College, National Institute for Intellectual Disability, Societies, Homework Clubs and the Jesuit Refugee Service. TCD volunteers with the Dublin Simon Communities, Sunshine House and the Caring and Sharing Association (CASA) tell their story and you can also read about the experiences of student volunteers on the Medical Overseas Volunteer Elective (MOVE) and the Suas Volunteer Programme.

Service-Learning

Academics from the Irish School of Ecumenics, the Department of Occupational Therapy and the School of Business tell of how they use service-learning to teach their students and help students understand their capacity for civic engagement through their discipline.
