Christopher’s Haven

Ways to Help

There is always the opportunity to share with others a little bit of ourselves.

Volunteer Opportunities at Christopher's Haven

Thank you for your interest in Christopher’s Haven. Our children and families are grateful for all our volunteers and no matter how you help us, know that you are making a huge difference in the lives of a family and child undergoing pediatric cancer treatment. 
We have opportunities for individual volunteers, student volunteers and we have a Corporate Volunteer Program for small groups. Please see more information below. Whether it is a corporate group, a community service project or you as a caring person that wants to give back…we love our volunteers!

Corporate Volunteer Program

Is your company seeking a team building, group project or community service day? We welcome our corporate partners and sponsors to volunteer together at Christopher’s Haven in The Loft or at a Christopher’s Haven event. Your team can find ideas below!  Please contact susankagan@christophershaven.org and/or fill out the form below to schedule with us. 

Volunteer Program and Internships

Christopher’s Haven provides activities for families every day.  We could not do this without the volunteers that devote their time every week.  We partner with Suffolk University’s Cancer Care Course program and have many other local schools and organizations that we partner with.  If you are looking to volunteer on your own or through your school, please reach out to glennysacosta@christophershaven.org and/or fill out the form below.  

Different volunteer opportunities to choose from:

Provide cleaning or cooking supplies

Supply apartments with essential cleaning supplies or essential cooking items including olive oil, canola oil, cooking spray and commonly used spices for use during the 6-8 weeks families are staying with us.

Prepare or provide a group meal for families in our community loft.

Plan a sweet celebration

Have a special hobby you enjoy?

Our kids and families love learning hobbies like music, arts and crafts, pet therapy, and poetry. Share your hobbies by filling out the volunteer application and mailing or scanning it to Christopher's Haven. We'll contact you about volunteer opportunities (based on availability).
