Whether you are an individual looking to make dreams come true, a corporate team wanting to give back for a day, or a school-going youngster who wants to add some sunshine in the lives of children going through their toughest battles, we have a volunteering programme for you.
The most memorable moment was when I did a ward dream. He was very critical, but he managed to stand up to give me a hug, followed by a big thank you. That moment really warmed my heart and was very fulfilling.
I have volunteered at Reach For A Dream for about 15 years and can’t imagine my life without being part of this awesome organisation.

We expect that a volunteer will at least commit for a period of a year, and be active during that time whether fulfilling dreams, assisting with group activities, fundraising initiatives or helping out in the office. You will also be required to attend 80% of the monthly volunteer meetings held once a month. Most dreams take place during the week from Monday to Friday.
You need to be over the age of 18 years old and have a valid driver’s license.
Volunteers will be on a 3-month probationary period. During this time, you will get the opportunity to be involved in various aspects of the work we do. We find volunteers naturally gravitate towards an area they feel most comfortable.
Our corporate volunteering programme offers a unique opportunity for your team to spend a half-day or full day with children in hospitals. Hosted in one of our Dream Rooms, your team can read heartwarming stories, engage in exciting games, or facilitate arts and crafts activities, providing these children with much-needed distraction and a sense of normalcy.
As you and your team unite to make a difference, you’ll find yourselves forming deeper connections, strengthening your bonds, and gaining a renewed sense of purpose. The smiles you put on these children’s faces will be reflected in your own.
Reach out to us and we will work closely with you to plan your volunteering day.
