Aidlink: The students of Blackrock College have been involved with the GOAL-Aidlink St. Patrick's Day Badge project since 1989. Through the St. Patrick’s Day Badge Project, Aidlink raises money for the Developing World, splitting the money equally between the two implementing organisations Aidlink and Goal.

Homework Club
The Homework Club is one of the ongoing Transition Year Projects. Every Monday and Tuesday two or three Transition Years Students go to Fitzgearld Park in Mounttown Co. Dublin to help boys and girls in primary school with their homework. Many of these children come from deprived backgrounds which are not always conducive to study.
This project is organised through the Blackrock College St Vincent de Paul Conference.

Gaisce
Gaisce (The President’s Award) is Ireland’s National Challenge Award, the country’s most prestigious and respected individual award programme, and a challenge from the President of Ireland, to young people between 15 and 25 years of age. (More info on www.gaisce.ie )

This year about 20 Transition Year students have signed up to try and achieve the Bronze Gaisce Award.
