Make a Difference in a Child's life, Become an In-home Volunteer Angel!

Do you want to support families impacted by cancer? Can you commit four (4) 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 in-home childcare support. 

How You Can Help: 

• Provide psychosocial support to help children develop coping skills and build resilience. 
• Provide fun, educational, creative, and safe experiences for children. 
• Commit to a minimum of six (6) months to ensure stability during a parent’s cancer treatment and recovery. 
• Offer four (4) hours of childcare support per week to the same family in your area. 

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 an In-Home Volunteer Angel, you will provide a safe and caring presence, engage children in fun and creative activities, and support them in processing their parent’s cancer.  

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 space, you’ll ease stress for families and give parents the reassurance they need to rest and attend medical appointments, knowing their children are in good hands. 

Through weekly visits, you’ll build trust, create meaningful connections, and bring joy into a child’s life. Volunteers receive specialized training and ongoing guidance from Nankind’s Support Specialist, ensuring they feel supported and confident in their role.

Nightstop is an alternative to shelter that adopts a preventative approach to homelessness by intervening at an early stage of crisis in order to help youth secure safe temporary housing, avoiding the shelter system or sleeping “rough” on the streets.

The program engages the community to act as “Hosts” for young people who have nowhere else to go and who have successfully passed a thorough risk assessment.

Community members help prevent that first night in shelter by offering a spare room and meals for short-term stays. Hosts and youth continue to be supported by DYS staff every step of the way.

Hosts are responsible for providing a private bedroom, access to laundry and bathroom facilities, as well as three meals (dinner, breakfast, and a packed lunch).
