Volunteer Programs in Dublin, Ireland

Whether you’ve previously volunteered before or not, the volunteer projects in Dublin welcome people from all ages and all backgrounds. Start thinking about what skills you’ve got up your sleeve, and you’ll be surprised! Don’t speak English or Gaelic? No fear; there are placements you can choose that’ll take this into consideration. 

Popular causes/projects when you volunteer in Dublin. Volunteer projects here are as diverse as the ales offered in pubs. There are many local disadvantaged communities within Dublin, that would love to receive your support. Through youth development projects, volunteers can interact with the local youths and help out at the community centres. Home to global companies like Facebook and Google, many youths have big dreams, but lost as to how to get there. That’s where volunteers step in (bearing traditional pasties to lift everyone’s mood, yum) — they would jump at the chance of hearing your life stories, encouraging them when life otherwise presents hardship. 

Dublin also has plenty of disability organizations ready for your aid; there are several projects available to help out at local centres. This type of placement requires extra skillset, but they are in dire need of further help — volunteers will feel immense gratification and satisfaction knowing every day they are making an impact on people’s lives. So if this applies to you, don’t hesitate and set sail! 

More of an environment and nature person? Look no further than Dublin, surrounded by lush mountains and fields. There are many environment and sustainable development projects for volunteers passionate about conservation and wildlife preservation for the future generations to come. After a long day of being outdoors, being in Ireland will mean there’s always a hot bangers and mash waiting for you.

Program duration. Placements can last from as little as a couple of weeks to as long as you would like to stay in Dublin; considering how many travellers task upon themselves to try every renowned pub in Ireland, you could be there for a deliciously long while. Everyone speaks English (albeit with a slightly harder accent to understand than the English one), and most speak Gaelic, the Irish language - so if you’re looking to improve or learn another language, Dublin is the place to be! Sure look it (Irish phrase to replace a grunt with words, such as aye).
