Highly trained JoyRx Music Specialists engage children of all ages and diagnoses, allowing them to choose the musical experience that best suits their current emotional place, desired mood, and engagement level.

Now in its fifth edition, this vital support tool is sent free-of-charge charge to every pediatric hospital in the country. Continued on schedule O.Volunteers play a critical role at Children's Cancer Association. They mentor children, share their musical talents, staff community events, host toy drives, and serve on the organization's leadership and advisory boards. Volunteers make a powerful difference in the lives of children in need. In return, they find their own life changed by the extraordinary spirit of the children and young adults that they support. 340993 42050 JoyRx Mentorship: JoyRx Mentorship fosters trusted companionship to inspire friendship and distraction during an isolating time. Trained adult volunteer JoyRx Mentors provide emotional support to children in treatment for cancer and other serious illnesses, and they offer critical support to parents who endure the hardships of hospital stays with their child.In the hospital, JoyRx mentors arrive with bags full of toys, games, and activities to help their young friends laugh and smile. Their friendship helps kids just be who they are - appealing to their interests and personal preferences. Continued on schedule O.With their mentor, they can play games, watch movies, do arts and crafts, or whatever activity they want to help pass the time in the hospital. For parents, these visits offer a brief respite, allowing a moment for themselves - they can take a walk, grab some coffee, spend time with their other children, or take an opportunity to step away and breathe. Mentorship matches can last multiple years, and often the bonds of friendship are still strong long after the final treatment.Since 1999, the program has matched more than 1,600 kids undergoing lengthy treatment regimens with a trained and trusted adult mentor volunteer.In April 2025, the organization reached a major milestone since returning in hospital post COVID: supporting over 100 active mentorship matches for the second year in a row. 256039 10043 JoyRx Nature: JoyRx Nature provides an essential connection to the natural world.
