This free 5-Week Winter 2024 Cohort Launches on Sunday, January 28th and takes place every Sunday through February 25th.

Kids and teens in the program build relationships with friends who get them in a safe, supportive, fun environment online. They also learn about cancer in a developmentally appropriate way, an experience that’s proven to decrease stress, anxiety, and worry for kids whose parents or guardians have cancer.

These engaging virtual group meetings are interactive, play, and art-based. Kids are mailed all necessary materials!

Meetings are facilitated by our skilled Youth Facilitators who have backgrounds in child development, education, Child Life, social work, and other youth-focused areas.

When: Sunday, January 28; Sunday, February 4; Sunday, February 11; Sunday, February 18; Sunday, February 25 

Where: Virtual (Zoom) from 1:00pm-2:30pm Pacific, 2:00pm-3:30pm Mountain, 3:00pm-4:30pm Central, 4:00pm-5:30pm Eastern

Who Can Attend: New and existing Pickles youth navigating a parent or guardian’s cancer diagnosis. We serve kids and teens in grades 1-12, ages 6-18. This program is well-suited for youth who would benefit from peer connection and a better understanding of cancer.
