A new club is starting next semester on UConn's Campus, Project Sunshine.
The officers of the club are looking to gauge interest in the organization.
Project Sunshine has active college chapters on over 50 campuses nationwide. College volunteers keep pediatric patients company and provide fun enrichment activities while also offering respite to their parents. Given their close proximity in age and approachability, college volunteers are uniquely positioned to serve as role models to children facing medical challenges.
Through volunteering, college students develop leadership skills, engage in service opportunities, and raise awareness about Project Sunshine across the country. Chapters participate in volunteer program activities, organize Sending Sunshine events, and fundraise on campus to support Project Sunshine’s mission.
More information about the type of activities that you will engage in as a part of the team can be found on the Project Sunshine website under the college involvement page here: https://projectsunshine.org/
If you are interested in the club, please put your name down for the email listserve using this google form: https://forms.gle/y1KKcG1hqteC8rA29 .
Lastly, interviews will occur next semester if there is enough interest in the club. We hope to see you next semester!
