Kids for Kids

Kids for Kids will resume in Spring semester of 2009.

Kids for Kids was started in 2000 by Nancy Van Prooyen, a Reed alumna. She wanted to bring cultural crafts to the hospital to add a bit of variety to thesterility of hospital life. Working in conjunction with a community partner, Kids for Kids brings a variety of fun cultural projects to school-aged patients. Once a week for two hours, Reedies aid hospital patients in creating crafts that are researched and planned by other members in the volunteer group. Volunteer duties include time commitment and craft planning. It's an exciting opportunity to serve the community through play. I can't think of a more enjoyable way to spend a Saturday morning! This program qualifies for the off-campus federal work study internship program.
