Social responsibility and volunteer work
Social Responsibility and Volunteerism are two of DAU’s most important areas of interest. DAU’s programs under Social Responsibility are designed to enhance the quality of life for individuals and groups within the campus community and surroundings. Furthermore, DAU is committed to spreading the culture of volunteer work among its students and staff, and through the national platform of volunteerism launched by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, it seeks to increase the number of volunteers and advance it in order to contribute to the construction of society and the achievement of the Vision 2030 of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

DAU Volunteer Program
The volunteer program at DAU is driven in large part by the DAU community comprising academic staff and experts from all over the world who are eager to share their knowledge, skills, and time.
DAU’s staff and students are considered members of the DAU Community and are encouraged to volunteer. The volunteers are offering their time, skills, and experience for free.
