VoluntEARS
The Disney VoluntEARS are an integral part of the company's efforts to help communities around the world. In operation since 1983, Disney VoluntEARS builds upon Walt Disney's philosophy of applying the same enthusiasm in the area of community involvement as he did to motion picture, television and theme park development. In 2001, Disney VoluntEARS around the world participated in more than 1,000 projects and programs and contributed in excess of 350,000 community service hours, filling nearly 85,000 volunteer opportunities.
