About DCU Volunteer

DCU facilitates volunteering through DCU Volunteer, a dedicated unit within the Office of Civic Engagement under the Office of the Executive Director for Engagement. 

DCU Volunteer serves as a vital link, connecting the DCU community with impactful volunteering opportunities, endeavouring to meet the diverse needs of staff, students and volunteer involving organisations (VIOs). DCU Volunteer offers comprehensive support and guidance while also delivering on-campus events showcasing a wide range of VIOs and their volunteer opportunities. DCU Volunteer actively collaborates across the university, including with the Students’ Union, and with VIOs,  ensuring all volunteers’ needs are met and that the university community is effectively engaged with. 

DCU Volunteer plays a central role in strategically developing and delivering volunteering initiatives, empowering both staff and students to positively impact in their communities.
