GET INVOLVED
TODAY!
Create For Kids is driven by the belief that art can change the world, one child at a time. Our team of artists and volunteers work with children in hospitals to create art that inspires, uplifts and heals. By providing a safe and nurturing environment to explore their creativity, our programs help children to cope with their illness, build confidence and connect with others. We invite you to get involved in the CFK community and make a difference in the lives of these children.
​
UPCOMING PROJECTS
Since our inception in 2023, we have been dedicated to bringing art programs to hospitals and medical facilities for children. By participating in our programs, patients can strengthen their confidence, improve their motor skills, and enhance their overall wellbeing. We witness the positive effect that art has on children every day, and we are dedicated to bringing that joy and inspiration to as many children as possible. Join us on our mission to create a brighter, more colorful world for kids in hospitals.
If you have a local chapter in your area, you can volunteer in person with them! Visit our page to find out where the nearest chapter to you is located.​​​​

When do you accept volunteers?We currently operate on a seasonal basis meaning that we will only accept mailed crafts during our themed events. The volunteer forms found in each of the programs will take you to the sign up forms with all of the information on the activities. We are no longer accepting non themed donations. Any donations sent during this time that do not follow the guidelines may result in reduced hours.
-
How many hours do I get per card and kit?30 minutes per card and 1 hour per kit.​
-
How will my hours be verified?Everyone who volunteers with us will receive a certificate via email. You can either send us a scan of a form you would like us to sign, mail it to us, or bring it to an in-person event so we are able to verify your hours. If you would like us to digitally verify your volunteering through email, put down verification@createforkids.org. Message us if you have any other necessary methods of approval.

Is there any limit on cards or kits?There is no limit on the amount of volunteering you can do, unless specified.

Who is eligible to volunteer?Anyone regardless of age and location is welcome to join us!

Would I personally cover the cost of delivery?Unfortunately, as of now, yes. In the future we hope to be able to gather enough donations to cover such costs ourselves.
