DISNEY "GIVE A DAY, GET A DAY" - Update from Disney
On Feb. 11, it
was announced that 600,000 volunteers
have already participated in the Give A
Day. Get A Disney Day. program. Thanks
to the exceptional programs and
opportunities provided by the thousands
of participating organizations, it's
anticipated that the
goal of celebrating one million
volunteers will occur very soon.
As the Give A Day. Get A Disney Day.
program is forecasted to come to a
close very shortly, the following
measures are being taken in preparation
for the program's conclusion:
- Effective immediately, no new applications will be accepted from organizations wanting to participate in the program.
- By Friday, March 5, all flexible schedule volunteer opportunities (1B projects) and the ability for volunteers to search for participating organizations and arrange service (2A projects) will be removed from the search at www.DisneyParks.com. For users of 1-800-Volunteer or Volunteer Solutions, these are the only types of volunteer activities associated with your organization through the VOP (please see Action Steps below for more information on this change.) At such time, it will only be possible for organizations to post date- and time-specific opportunities (1A projects) to the VOP.
- Once Disney reaches its one-million ticket goal, the program ends and organizations will no longer be able to post new volunteer opportunities of any kind for the program.
The Volunteer Opportunity Portal (VOP) at
http://VOP.HandsOnNetwork.org
will continue to be available so
that organizations can post date-
and time-specific opportunities,
manage their existing opportunities
and verify service completed by
volunteers. As the changes listed
above are implemented, you will see
fewer options available to
manage your account. Please continue
to verify completed, eligible
volunteer service within 72 hours of
the service being performed for all
qualifying service provided to your
organization under the program.
Only volunteers who have
completed the registration
and signed up for a specific date
and time to volunteer before the
program ends will get their vouchers
for a Disney theme park ticket once
their service has been verified.
Please see the action steps for all
organizations below for further
details.
The level of volunteerism we have
seen in the first months of 2010 is
tracking to new highs. Thank you for
the vital role your organization is
playing in this landmark program.
