Giving Back Through Disney VoluntEARS

Since the program’s founding, Disney VoluntEARS have given more than 6.5 million hours of volunteer service in communities around the world.

Encouraging Healthy Lifestyles

Catalyzing Action

Disney Friends for Change inspires kids and their families to make a lasting, positive impact on the world by showing how even small actions can add up to big changes. Friends for Change kids in South Florida unload trees to beautify local schools.

Providing Hope and Laughter

Disney dedicates financial resources and volunteers to helping bring joy to those who need it most, including our long history of supporting children’s hospitals around the world.

We believe being a good corporate citizen is the right thing to do, for our consumers and guests, our employees and cast members, and our businesses. It makes our company a desirable place to work, reinforces the attractiveness of our brands and entertainment, and strengthens our bonds with families, as well as our consumers, neighbors and business associates. Whether it’s through corporate giving or the giving of time and talent by our Disney VoluntEARS, we understand and appreciate the importance of collaboration and inspiration. We continue our company’s legacy of giving as we seek to do our part in improving and enriching the lives of kids and families as well as contributing our time, resources, and energies in communities around the world.
