Connecting college students with hospitalized children

Bringing fun, friendship, and support to seriously ill children and their families when they need it most.

Welcome, you’re in the right place

StudentsCare is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that aims to brighten the hospital experience for children and their families by matching long-term pediatric patients with college student volunteers who provide fun, friendship, and support throughout extended hospital stays.

 

COVID-19 Response: Our staff and board have decided to expand our mission to now also provide companionship and support (virtually) to isolated seniors during this time of need. Learn more.
