We are delighted to announce StudentVolunteer.ie are the awardees of the Rethink Ireland Hi Digital Fund!
The Hi Digital Fund is made possible through the generous support of the Vodafone Foundation, private donors, and the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht via the Dormant Accounts Fund.
We were thrilled to celebrate the new awardees at a special launch event at the Irish Architectural Archive alongside Vodafone. A special thank you to Minister of State at the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Jerry Buttimer, for joining us at this inspiring event.
As part of this funding we will connect and enable our partner Universities:
“Deonach Digiteach” or “Digital Volunteer” is an intergenerational empowerment project that centres on the development of essential digital skills while fostering meaningful volunteering connections. Student volunteers engage in hands-on learning and mentoring, supporting older adults to navigate technology confidently. The initiative promotes inclusion, reduces digital divides, and creates a supportive network where learning flows both ways, aligning to a range of higher education priorities such as life long learning. By combining skill-building with social engagement, the project delivers lasting impact for individuals and communities in an increasingly digital world.
“ University of Limerick Foundation and Student Volunteer Ireland are thrilled to partner with Rethink Ireland to enhance intergenerational community engagement for digital skills. When we share knowledge across generations, we don’t just teach skills—we build bridges that strengthen communities.”See the Rethink Ireland website for further information on the Hi Digital Fund.
