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 Child Life Specialist, ensuring they feel supported and confident in their role.
