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.
