Volunteer With Dormi Arts Initiative

Create Impact Through Art. Grow With Purpose.

Dormi Arts Initiative is a Uganda-based social enterprise that uses art and creativity to address social, economic, and sustainability challenges. We collaborate with artists, artisans, creatives, and professionals to design solutions that create real impact while strengthening the creative industry.

We are building a committed volunteer community to help us implement our mission. Our volunteer program is structured, skills-based, and growth-oriented — designed for people who want to contribute meaningfully while developing professionally.
