MARCH 10 & 11, 2023

What is ARUBA DOET?

On Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th of March 2023, CEDE Aruba in cooperation with the Oranje Fonds will be organizing the 11th edition of ARUBA DOET, the biggest volunteer event on the island.

The Netherlands and five Caribbean islands highlight these volunteer initiatives, and stimulate everyone to donate their time to help out the people who need it. This helps everyone! 

The event ARUBA DOET started in 2013 under the initiative of the Oranje Fonds. Under the names NLdoet (The Netherlands), ARUBA DOET (Aruba), CURA DOET (Curaçao), BON DOET (Bonaire), STATIA DOET (Sint Eustatius) and SXM DOET (Sint Maarten), these six initiatives highlight volunteering and volunteers while encouraging everybody to roll up their sleeves for (part of) a day. With these six initiatives the Oranje Fonds is organizing the biggest volunteer event in the Kingdom in cooperation with thousands of social organizations and with the support of local partners such as CEDE Aruba.

Heart and Soul

Volunteers are the heart and soul of many community organizations. Through ARUBA DOET the Oranje Fonds and CEDE Aruba emphasize how important actively engaged citizens are for the community and for social organizations. What’s also important, ARUBA DOET helps to improve the image of volunteering and shows how much fun it can be.

Record numbers

 In 2022 there where more than 2.500 volunteers active at 189 jobs! Obviously we aim even higher this year, especially since it's out 11th edition, so register your project or sign up as a volunteer.

Does your company also support the largest voluntary action on Aruba?

To be able to fulfill all these jobs on March 10th and 11th, 2023 social organizations need a lot of resources. These may include materials such as paint or wood, but also groceries to provide refreshments or lunch for the volunteers.

You can expect much gratitude from the organization, the volunteers and the people to whom the activities benefit. ARUBA DOET extensively will be visible in the media and ARUBA DOET also promotes her partners.
