She served as a UNICEF ambassador during and after her time as Miss Universe, visiting Asia and Latin America to promote the cause.

She founded the Dayanara Torres Foundation, which has given scholarships to deserving students in the Philippines and Puerto Rico. She traveled to Manila in 1994 to crown the new Miss Universe, and at the event, she and Peabo Bryson performed a duet of “A Whole New World.”
