Volunteering at Al Noor School, Dubai, for children with special needs. At Al Noor  they greatly appreciates  volunteers, who donate their time and skills to help. If you have time to spend with the  students, share your talents (such as for music or art) or simply help them in their daily tasks, Al Noor would love to hear from you. Their  ideal is to offer the children one on one care. Each volunteer at the centre brings them a step closer to that goal. Alternatively, if you would like to bring your skills to one of Al Noor's  administrative departments, they would value your help.  Al Noor's Volunteer Interaction Programme is open to anyone over the age of 16. No specific qualifications are required – just commitment. All prospective volunteers must attend an orientation session at the centre. This includes a presentation to give information about the school, followed by a guided tour, where you will see our classrooms and other units in action and meet some of our staff and students. The orientation tours take place every other Monday during term time. Al Noor's  Student Interaction Programme brings students from mainstream educational institutions to Al Noor. Under their  supervision, they get to know Al Noor's  students, learn about their disabilities and how to help them overcome their difficulties. It is a great way of increasing awareness about the determined ones amongst young people. Al Noor's  unique curriculum, developed within the centre, is structured to improve  students’ with special need's learning experience and help them towards greater independence in all walks of life. Their  ‘life span approach’ gives each student a series of developmentally sequenced goals, which cover all areas of learning. Programme's for each student are continually reviewed and revised to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world. Al Noor keeps abreast of technology upgrades and incorporates the latest approaches to intervention and skills training. The centre places great emphasis on the use of technology to maximise the potential of all their  students. Their  curriculum is aligned to the United Nations Conventions on Rights for Persons with Disabilities.  All children with disabilities need professional help to thrive and develop but fnancial restrictions mean that not all of them are able to get that support. At Al Noor, thy  believe that all children, irrespective of their background and financial means, should be able to attend school and so Al Noor  subsidises the fees of their  students by paying a percentage for them. Other students are unable to pay even the subsidised fees and depend upon the Child Sponsorship scheme to cover the total cost of their training. Al Noor relies  on its  Fundraising Team to organise sponsorship schemes and special events to raise the money they  need to help these children and to cover operational costs for the centre. Al Noor's  Child Sponsorship scheme, a schedule of sponsored events throughout the year, and their  ‘Smiles n Stuff’ gift shop, where they  sell the quality goods made by students in their  Vocational Training department, are just some of the ways Al Noor raises funds. Al Noor  also rents our excellent facilities to different groups and clubs. The Al Noor Indoor Sports Auditorium (ANISA) is a popular venue for sports organisers. Al Noor is always looking for individuals and companies to support and sponsor their  initiatives. 

K9 Friends is in operation to rescue and rehome stray and abandoned dogs. There are a number of ways you can volunteer at K9 Friends, from working directly with their animals to helping out with events and manning the office. Fundraising and event volunteers are always needed to help raise the money K9 Friends needs to cover their annual running costs. Help out at various fairs, bazaars, sponsored dog walks and many other occasions. Kennel volunteers provide companionship, stimulation, training and assist K9 Friends staff in the care and welfare of the dogs in the kennel. Administration volunteers are office/phone operators, who answer phone calls and give advice and information to the general public. These volunteers create and update files for every K9 Friends dog, in addition to liaising with vets for appointments and arranging necessary transport for the dogs. Volunteering is a real commitment… Because of the training K9 Friends volunteers require, we ask that people think extremely carefully about their ability to commit their time before applying to help out in the kennels or office. We ask for a minimum of six months commitment but of course we’d like people to remain with us a lot longer! * Please be aware that for insurance reasons, we are unfortunately unable to accept volunteers who are less than 16 years of age. Please call and register to come along to one of our orientation mornings where you will find out exactly what what we do and how you can help. +971 (0)4 8878739
