Community chapters are comprised of passionate individuals 18 years and older who are interested in community service and dedicated to Project Sunshine’s mission.
Volunteers deliver Direct Service programs like Creative Arts & Crafts, Sunshine Chefs, and Book Buddies. Through volunteering, individuals have the opportunity to give back to the communities where they live and work, broaden their personal networks, and connect with other compassionate volunteers.
Our community volunteers are a diverse group – all ages, socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicities, and professions. From business executives to stay-at-home parents, from retirees to young professionals, our volunteers are united by their dedication to brightening the stays of hospitalized children and their families.
