Volunteer Fairs
DCU Volunteer Fair is a unique opportunity to meet with local, national and international volunteer-involving organisations to learn about how you can get involved with their cause. This gives students and staff the chance to have an in-person chat with the various organisations that work with DCU Volunteer, and they can find out how to volunteer and what this entails. 25+ volunteer-involving organisations take part each year to chat with those interested in volunteering, on both Glasnevin and St. Patrick's campuses.

Sustainable Energy Community – Home Energy Kit
The DCU Sustainable Energy Community supported by SEAI is here to support you to make energy efficiency improvements to your home. An initial step that all members of the DCU community can take is to borrow a Home Energy Kit to help you assess how you use energy and where you might be wasting it through poor ventilation or certain appliances. During this semester Sustainability DCU will be providing the DCU Libraries with these home energy kits for you to borrow.
