TU Dublin President's Volunteering Awards (PVA) TU Dublin's Volunteering Awards are endorsed by the President of TU Dublin as of 2026.

Our PVA awards provide an opportunity for students to reflect on and showcase their volunteering achievements and to demonstrate the positive impact they are making on others and in the world.

We hope that through our President's Volunteering Awardsto recognise the contribution our students are making and to encourage students to continue their volunteering activities.

You will receive your PVA if you log a minimum of 20 hours as a:

• Society or Sports Club Committee Member
• Peer Mentor
• Access Student Leader
• Class Rep / Student Councillor
• Peer Supporters for the Counselling team
• Event support with our Chaplaincy
• TU Dublin Students’ Union RAG and Welfare Crew, plus other SU initiatives
• NB: Any volunteering activity or project at TU Dublin or externally.
  E.g. coaching for a local sports team, fundraising for a cause you connect with, charity shop work, climate activism, etc. As long as you can provide information on what this volunteering is and a supervisor's contact details for us to verify the activity.

Lead the Way Volunteering Certificate

We highly value leadership and entrepreneurial activity at TU Dublin. Staff nominate those students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in their volunteering, and we award these student leaders a ‘Lead the Way' certificate.

Category Volunteering Awards

We also have approximately 12 categories of Volunteering Awards. These awards recognise the best of volunteering projects that our students participate in and often initiate themselves - on and off campus. The recipients of these awards are nominated by others or complete an application process.
Adjudicators support the decision-making process on awardees.

If you are volunteering and you log sufficient hours (minimum 20 hours) on your dashboard on www.studentvolunteer.ie you will receive a President's Volunteering Award.
