CoachArt’s mission is to create a transformative arts and athletics community for families impacted by childhood chronic illness. Children living with chronic illness may feel isolated because of their condition. Frequent hospital visits and deficient immune systems often cause them to miss time in school and recreational activities. Families, overwhelmed by the cost and demands of ongoing medical care, often lack the resources to seek out or afford extracurricular activities. Healthy siblings are affected too when family resources are focused on a chronically ill child. CoachArt supports these families by offering free recreational lessons that bring a sense of normalcy back into their lives. Since 2001, CoachArt has matched volunteer coaches with students for one-on-one or group lessons in arts and athletics. Our vision is that one day every family impacted by chronic illness will be connected to a community of support and an opportunity to learn and grow together.

Here at Unbounded Futures, our goal is to provide children with another choice, open up their eyes to the possibilities that exist outside of child labor or child marriage, and prepare them for their journeys by equipping them with basic knowledge useful in any field. Currently, many of these children cannot receive a proper education due to the fact that they need to work to receive basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. At Unbounded Futures, we provide them with these necessities, so they have the time to learn, along with educational resources and instruction.
