European Year of Volunteering

To celebrate the European Year of Volunteering 2011 and to recognise the tremendous contribution which student volunteers make to the lives of their communities, third level institutions from across the island of Ireland have come together to develop www.wevolunteer.ie a mobile and virtual photographic exhibition of student volunteering.

The extent and diversity of student volunteering is phenomenal.  This exhibition showcases the work of students from over twenty Higher Education Institutions across Ireland with diverse organisations and activities. “We Volunteer!” is sponsored by Campus Engage, the national network for the promotion of civic engagement in Irish higher education.

Student volunteers are welcome to post up their volunteering story at www.wevolunteer.ie building further acknowledgment of the value which student volunteers bring to their communities and inspire others to take up the challenge during the European Year of Volunteering 2011. Add your volunteer story today and help reach the target of 365 student volunteer stories – one story a day for EYV 2011!
