This year all funds raised will be used to support our newest program, the Cool Kids Learning Center.

Our vision for the Cool Kids Learning Center reinforces what we have always set out to do: remember that kids are kids whether they are healthy or sick! Kids just want to fit in and have fun, and our sincerest hope is that the Learning Center will be a safe, secure foundation on which to build their lives after cancer.

Mission and Goals of the Learning Center

The core focus of the Learning Center will be to address the academic and social implications of childhood cancer. Our primary goals are to:

* Provide educational support so kids continue to perform and re-enter school at grade level.

* Address the neurocognitive needs of the pediatric oncology child and adolescent.

* Make available the social and extracurricular activities lost to the disease during these formative years.

To make the Learning Center a success, we need your help. We are looking for people with teaching experience, experts in their field, or college students willing to offer their time and talent for these kids. Tutors will work in various capacities, ranging from one-on-one sessions, hosting seminars or classes, or providing opportunities that will enhance the student’s life in a significant way. If you would like a volunteer application please email sharon@coolkidscampaign.org.
