Launch of the Trinity Volunteers Opportunities Forum at Trinity College
Posted on: 20 October 2006
A newly established student initiative, the Trinity Volunteers Opportunities Forum (TVOF), was launched on Friday 20th October by TCD Provost, Dr John Hegarty. This event marked the coming together of the four main voluntary groups in College – the Voluntary Tuition Programme, the Peer Support Network, St Vincent DePaul and SUAS, and was also attended by Mary Davis, Chairperson of Active Citizenship, Ireland.
The TVOF will be working to promote the spirit of volunteerism across Campus and aim to support current volunteering activities within Trinity. By developing a bond between volunteers, they hope to create a common-cause and a feeling of community.
TVOF will endeavour to raise support and awareness amongst both the local and business community and to provide a forum for the discussion of volunteer issues, sharing resources and information.
