Building the next generation of philanthropists while having fun!
Our mission is to inspire and empower students to become young leaders and changemakers by fostering a culture of philanthropy.
Join like-minded peers in making a positive impact for families in need struggling with a critically-ill child through meaningful volunteer experiences and initiatives.
Contribute to a meaningful cause and see the direct impact of your efforts. Throughout the year, opportunities range from packing donation boxes, event support, collection drives, and tutoring to celebrating patient birthdays, summer beach activities, and adopting a family for the holidays!
