Empowering students and raising a new generation of
​do-gooders

Chemo Buddies are here for you. Every treatment room, every time.
Sometimes when a loved one gets cancer, kids (and family members) feel helpless. Here are ways YOU and a young person can support your family and community to make a difference.

Why Student Buddies?
It seems that everyone knows someone who has cancer. Most adults feel helpless when they get news that a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer. The patients often feel like a burden asking family members to attend their hours-long chemotherapy treatments. 
It all can seem like an overwhelming situation...until there's hope.

Chemo Buddies has been providing services to comfort patients in chemotherapy since 2011. These adult Chemo Buddies have made it their mission to make sure no one has to go through chemo alone. Now, there is an avenue to help young people and empower them to flourish in adversity. 

Student Buddies are:
  • Young people that want to give back
  • Family members to a patient
  • Students eager to become a leader in their community
  • Students participating in classroom service learning

​Adults and Educators:
As adults in a young person's life, we can help develop leadership, and stress the importance of giving back to our community. 
By helping Chemo Buddies, the young people can take ownership in our community, and be proactive to make it a better place. Student Buddies can offer hope, even through small actions (that aren't really so "small") to patients.

Chemo Buddies is a local, volunteer based charity that needs funding and support. There are young people all over the tri-state area that have the ability to fund raise and support.
