Welcome to South Dublin County Volunteer Centre

Elmssmall

South Dublin County Volunteer Centre offers a recruitment and placement service for volunteers in South Dublin County as well as providing support and training to notfor profits on all aspects of volunteer managment. Other services include a Garda Vetting service, consultancy on volunteering issues and research and policy work around all areas of volunteering. SDCVC developed the first modular volunteer management training program in Ireland.

We were originally set up in 1998 as Tallaght Volunteer Bureau. Since 1998, we have been very active locally and nationally and have been at the forefront of influencing policy on volunteering at a local and national level. We were represented on the National Committee on Volunteering as well as addressing the Oireachtas subcommittee hearings on volunteering.

SDCVC was the first volunteer centre in Ireland to pilot a Garda vetting service for community organisations. We were also instrumental in developing the first national database of volunteering opportunities.

We are a founding member of Volunteer Centres Ireland - the National Volunteer Centre.

SDCVC is core funded by the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.
