Junior VolunteerWe’re seeking junior volunteers to work with our students and help support our programs. Junior Volunteers help coaches share athletic or artistic skills and hobbies with children with a chronic illness. The commitment is at least 2 hours a month.

Volunteers should possess enough knowledge to teach an eight-week session of beginner-level lessons and feel confident enough to provide an activity without support. That’s easier than you might think — we have lesson plans, activity ideas, templates and other resources you can use. Program time commitment is one hour a week.Arts CoachWe can match you with an inspiring, extraordinary young person — or group of young people — impacted by chronic illness.

| About us | Children living with chronic illness may feel isolated because of their condition. Frequent hospital visits and deficient immune systems often cause them to miss time in school and recreational activities. Families, overwhelmed by the cost and demands of ongoing medical care, often lack the resources to seek out or afford extracurricular activities. Healthy siblings are affected too when family resources are focused on a chronically ill child. CoachArt supports these families by offering free recreational lessons that bring a sense of normalcy back into their lives. Our vision is that one day every family impacted by chronic illness will be connected to a community of support and an opportunity to learn and grow together. |
