Academic Tutoring & Learning Packets
One-on-one homework help and "Brain-Boost" flashcard sessions that keep young patients engaged with their coursework and help preserve their identity as a student throughout treatment.
Pediatric Patient Support Initiative
Empowering young patients at Bethany Children's Health Center through hands-on academic tutoring, bedside literature, and adaptive art sessions led by student volunteers.
Program Overview
A Weekly Volunteer Corps
Nadhi Rajendrakumar leads a team of dedicated student volunteers, including VOLUME teen leaders, who visit Bethany Children's Health Center each week to support patients' social, emotional, and academic well-being. Every visit is designed to meet a young patient where they are—whether that means catching up on schoolwork, sharing a story, or simply creating a bright spot in an otherwise difficult day.
How We Help
Three Pillars of Service
Narrative Reading & Storytelling
Bedside interactive reading sessions using literature focused on resilience and character connection, giving patients an imaginative escape and a sense of shared experience.
Adaptive Art & Music Connections
Mess-free watercolor resist craft sessions and brief acoustic music performances that brighten the clinical environment and give patients a creative outlet during their stay.
