Here at Dublin City Volunteer Centre, we believe that volunteering is for everyone.
We want to help you find volunteering that suits your circumstances and goals-whatever those might be.
If you are an International Protection Applicant, Displaced Person, or Refugee, you may find volunteering more challenging depending on your current circumstances. At the same time, volunteering is a wonderful way to help you get to know your new community while building confidence and wellbeing.
Please see below for resources and events to help you start volunteering. We will update this page with new events as they become available.
Welcome to Volunteering!
