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.
