    In my school, the school helps organise charity volunteer placements.

    Where have you tried? Places like Enable Ireland, Special Olympics Ireland, Samaritans, Pieta House, ISPCA, ISPCC, Bernardos, Barrettstown may all offer you a placement. (Links are all to the volunteering page of each organisation)

    You could try any of on this website: Charities in Dublin

    You might be better off trying smaller charities as they may be more accommodating to student placements than larger/multinational ones.

    Hope you find one soon,
    Jackobyte.

    EDIT: Just saw that in your other post, you were looking for a placements specifically in Lucan. Have you tried Pieta House? They have an office in Lucan that may be able to accommodate you. Link.
