2021 International Day of Volunteers

05/12/2021

Today is the 2021 International Day of Volunteers and there is so much to celebrate worldwide and her at the University of Limerick. #IVD2021
UL is celebrating International Volunteer Day all this week beginning today with the launch of the first report outlining The Value and Impact of Higher Education Student Volunteering in Ireland.
Throughout this week higher education student volunteers across the sector will be highlighted through a series of stories celebrating their achievements and those of the national working group on student volunteering. In today's publication the development, management, and delivery of UL President’s Volunteer Programme is presented as an excellent example of good volunteer management and practice in higher education. The success of the PVA at UL belongs to the willingness of UL students to step up and give back, the unequivocal support of successive and our current President, Professor Kerstin Mey, our colleagues in UL Student Life, UL Postgraduate Students' Union, UL Alumni, our colleague across campus, our educational partners, Campus Engage Ireland and most importantly our community partners and organisations throughout Ireland and beyond.  We salute you all. #Studentchangemakers #IVD2021
