Do you want to support families impacted by cancer? Can you commit two (2) hours per week to providing psychosocial support to a child in need? Join Nankind and help lessen the impact of cancer on families by offering virtual childcare support. 

How You Can Help:  

• Provide psychosocial support to help children develop coping skills and build resilience.
• Provide fun, educational, creative, and safe virtual experiences for children.
• Commit to a minimum of six (6) months to ensure stability for families during a parent’s treatment and recovery.
• Offer two (2) hours of childcare support per week to the same family. 

Why Volunteer with Nankind? 

Nankind offers a meaningful and rewarding opportunity for volunteers who want to make a real difference in the lives of families affected by cancer. As a Virtual Volunteer Angel, you will support children in overcoming learning obstacles, building problem-solving skills, and engaging in creative activities that provide a healthy emotional outlet.  

Your presence will have a lasting impact on children whose parents are undergoing treatment, receiving palliative care, or families coping with bereavement. By providing a safe and caring virtual space, you’ll ease stress for families and give parents the reassurance they need to rest.  

Through weekly virtual visits, you will foster a special connection, allowing children to form a new friendship with you while exploring ways to process, understand, and express their feelings about their parent’s cancer. Volunteers receive specialized training and ongoing guidance from Nankind’s Child Life Specialist, ensuring they feel supported and confident in their role.
