Disney VoluntEARS Mission Statement:

To develop opportunities for Disneyland® Resort cast members and their families to contribute their personal time, expertise and effort to make a positive impact on our community while furthering the ideals of The Walt Disney Company.


Disney VoluntEARS History

In 1983, Disneyland® Resort cast members expressed a desire to form a team focused on providing meaningful service to the community. This idea soon culminated with the creation of the Disneyland Community Action Team (DCAT).

This dedicated group of Disneyland® Resort cast members assisted many not-for-profit organizations in Orange County, California.

The team achieved great success in their support of charitable organizations, and the momentum led to a company-wide launch of the Disney VoluntEARS in 1992.

Today, Disney VoluntEARS work on meaningful projects across the globe, with a primary focus on communities where Disney business units operate.
