Under the patronage of His Excellency the University President, Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University launched the "Volunteer Giving Caravan 1" initiative, coinciding with Saudi and International Volunteer Day. This initiative aligns with Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to promote a culture of volunteer work and increase the number of volunteers to one million. It also aims to achieve the university's strategic objectives of developing programs that support social responsibility and enhance its role in community development.
The caravan seeks to spread the culture of volunteer work by launching fifty volunteer initiatives that encompass various segments of society. These initiatives were designed by male and female students, faculty members, and staff from various university departments, providing more than 200 volunteer opportunities aimed at empowering university members to effectively serve and develop the community. The caravan's programs include several diverse activities, most notably an inauguration ceremony sponsored by His Excellency the University President, where the initiatives will be launched and introduced through an accompanying exhibition. The e-caravan also includes a media campaign highlighting the initiatives and covering their activities. The field caravan will launch with the implementation of fifty volunteer initiatives presented by participating university entities. The caravan targets the participation of five hundred volunteers, providing two hundred volunteer opportunities and implementing fifty community initiatives with the participation of seventeen entities within the university. This initiative seeks to achieve a positive and sustainable impact on society, strengthening the university's role in achieving the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and promoting the values of volunteering as part of national and societal identity.
