Disney Parks has teamed up with HandsOn Network to celebrate the good things people do for their communities. In 2010, Disney wants to inspire 1 million people to volunteer a day of service to a participating organization in their communities. To celebrate their good works, Disney will give each of them one-day admission to a theme park at Disneyland® Resort or Walt Disney World® Resort, free.
Starting January 1, 2010, Guests can go to www.disneyparks.com to search for volunteer opportunities made available through HandsOn Network and sign up for a day of volunteer service. As the nation’s largest volunteer network, HandsOn Network has 250 on-the-ground volunteer action centers across the country, like the Volunteer and Information Center and connects volunteers to more than 70,000 nonprofit agencies that need their help. Many of the opportunities will be projects that entire families can participate in together.
To learn more, just visit www.disneyparks.com.
Must pre-register and sign up for eligible volunteer opportunity at disneyparks.com. Ticket quantities for this program are limited. Must be at least age 6 to participate. Other terms and conditions apply. For details, see disneyparks.com

Community Partners - Non-profits, Churches, Schools, and Government Agencies
Join HandsOn Network as we celebrate the spirit and power of volunteerism and engage more people in volunteer service! At a time marked by economic strain and hardship, individuals and families who give their time to help improve communities are being celebrated and offered a free one-day ticket to a Disney theme park through the new “Give A Day, Get A Disney Day.” program. The goal is to engage one million volunteers in service this year.
Those who volunteer their time in service to a participating organization beginning on Jan. 1, 2010, will receive a free one-day admission ticket to a Disney theme park at either Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., or Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif.
HandsOn Network is the activator for this program with more than 250 HandsOn Actions Centers across the country in addition to 70,000 community-based partners such as food banks, homeless shelters, schools and faith-based organizations.
Many non-profit and community partners will be able to participate in the program through partnerships with a HandsOn Action Center, such as the Volunteer and Information Center and by registering for the program at http://vop.handsonnetwork.org. Participating in this program is a special way to help people recognize their individual and collective power to create change through volunteering, and celebrate the everyday heroes who serve. It also provides an opportunity for partner organizations to honor those individuals and families who help fulfill their organizational missions—and to attract new volunteers who want to engage.
As our nation is recognizing volunteerism as a pathway to solving some of our most pressing issues, HandsOn Network invites you to participate in the “Give A Day, Get A Disney Day.” program which truly celebrates our vision of service.
If your organization is interested in participating in the “Give A Day. Get A Disney Day.” program, please visit http://vop.handsonnetwork.org/faq for more information.
