Disney Worldwide Outreach Program

The Disney Worldwide Outreach Program is Disney's charitable division, helping charitable organizations throughout the world, as well as local initiatives.
==History==
In 1983, at Disneyland, Disney formed the "Disneyland Community Action Team" (DCAT). DCAT became involved with the Special Olympics, the Orangewood Children's Home, and other local charities. The corporate-wide VoluntEARS program was created from this initiative in 1992. The DisneyHand program, soon to be renamed the Disney Worldwide Outreach program, was created to give a corporate standard on Disney's charitable initiatives.
