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.
