Family Plus Volunteer Scheme 2021/22

Family Plus Volunteer Scheme 2021/22 is now launched!

To further promote family volunteering, Agency for Volunteer Service and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort jointly launch the Family Plus Volunteer Scheme again.

We have enlisted 10 partner organizations to recruit 500 teams of family volunteers to continue volunteering under the new normal. Participating families will have the opportunity to receive complimentary one-day admission ticket(s) to Hong Kong Disneyland upon completion of certain volunteer service hours in the designated period.

In addition, online trainings on "Family Volunteering" will be provided for family volunteers and partner organizations on family volunteering service opportunities and related service skills under the pandemic, for their quality and effective volunteering.
