Individual Volunteering

"Our strength lies in our volunteers"

The foundation of Dream A Dream has been laid by its volunteers. The organization was started by a group of community volunteers who wanted to harness the powerful energy of people, to bring about positive change. Over the years, Dream A Dream has invested a lot of time, effort and deployed global best practices in building our volunteer engagement model. For us, volunteers are an extension of our Dream Team and a very important element of the paradigm.

 From a volunteer's perspective, we believe in offering everyone a flexible, fun, high-impact and meaningful volunteering opportunity; as well as to our partner NGOs, we would like to help build volunteer engagement practices by sharing our own experience, systems and process. 

On a larger canvas, Dream A Dream believes that volunteering is the means to engage the community and build a more humane and sensitive society around us. Strategically, volunteering enables societies to transform towards being more just, non-discriminatory, sensitive and inclusive.

Over the years, thousands of volunteers have contributed their time, skill and money to make this organization what it is today and have contributed tremendously towards our partner NGOs. In 2008-09 alone, we have over 1000 volunteers contributing over 8500 volunteer hours.

However, the journey is not over yet. We need more volunteers. We wish to inspire and engage an entire population of community volunteers that will bring about changes towards an inclusive world. 

Whatever your level of interest, passion & commitment, there will almost certainly be an opportunity for you to get involved with Dream A Dream! Join those who believe in the beauty of their dreams and register as a volunteer to Today!
