About This Organization

Abbreviation(s):
CKTAMU
Purpose:
5 million children are coping with a parent's cancer diagnosis.

That's 5 million children at risk of experiencing increased anxiety, emotional isolation, loss of social interest, and/or feelings of hopelessness. And that's why, at Kesem, we are committed to creating a world where every child who has a parent with a cancer diagnosis or has lost a parent to cancer is never alone. We support these children through and beyond their parent's cancer with free, fun-filled creative programs and a lasting community.

There are all kinds of roles for you in Kesem. It doesn't matter your major or your background. If you care about our mission, we'll help you channel your passion in ways that are fun and exciting for you.
