HandsOn Network partners with Walt Disney Co

The HandsOn Network and Walt Disney Co. partnership could give anyone of you a free day admission to Disneyland in Anaheim, California or Walt Disney World near Orlando, Florida.

How? By volunteering in your communities. Disney partners with HandsOn Network, a clearinghouse for volunteer opportunities, to connect people with projects and to certify that the work was done. Disney’s “Give a Day, Get a Disney Day” program will provide certified volunteers with a one-day ticket to the park in 2010.

Would-be volunteers must register online with Disney and must be residents of the U.S., Canada or Puerto Rico to be eligible for the free admission. The work must be performed in 2010, and the park visit must take place by Dec. 15, 2010. Participants must be 18 or older to sign up for the program, but volunteer work done by children ages 6-17 qualifies for a free ticket as long as kids are accompanied by an adult when volunteering. Unused admission certificates can be donated to a charity designated by Disney.

Examples of volunteer opportunities currently listed on HandsOn’s Web site range from drivers and bingo callers to a book drive organizer at a senior center in Scranton, Pa., to a docent at the Oregon Maritime Museum in Portland.
