Organization Information
Mission Statement
Bringing hope, joy and connection to communities impacted by childhood cancer
Description
UKANDU is, first and foremost, a volunteer-driven organization. We're so grateful for the hundreds of volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to providing families impacted by childhood and adolescent cancer hope, joy, and connection. 25% of UKANDU volunteers are former participants. 33% of UKANDU volunteers have volunteered for more than 15 years.UKANDU program participants are children and families with unique needs and they are worthy of our very best efforts. Each volunteer is carefully selected for their personal character, high ideals, integrity, responsibility, and special skills which offer our campers the quality of leadership we hope campers will someday emulate. As a result, volunteers will model strength, self-efficacy, and healthy interpersonal relationships. Our programs aim to promote emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual growth.

From a camper battling childhood cancer, to now a staff member/former leadership staff... This camp has brought nothing but joy, support, and “family” to a horrible disease that affected my family and I at a young age. It continues to be a support system for adults and kids alike with family connections throughout the year and hosting summer camps. It’s a bright light and group of people I always look forward to seeing, being a support to families during the hardest battles of their lives and showing them there is still hope and love in the world, and that they are not alone. - JellyBean ( https://ukandu.org/about )
