For families visiting Seattle for medical treatment, we provide enthusiastic, trained volunteers to spend time with your children (ill child and/or siblings) for two to five hours per week. If you could use a break or your kids just need a playmate, we will set-up a time to get to know you and your kids to make the best match possible.

Every Monday afternoon Side-by-Side volunteers trek to the Ronald McDonald House for a variety of activities with kids and families. Whether it’s cooking dinner for 80, practicing flash cards at Homework Club, or getting artsy with the Art Cart, we love to support the incredible work of RMH Seattle.

Camp Side-by-Side is a classic summer experience designed for families who have a child with cancer. Volunteers come in droves to build friendships, community and FUN.  Parents and caregivers have a chance to rest, kids have a chance to play for hours and everyone is treated to the celebration of being together!  During the week you can enjoy the climbing wall, the ropes course, the archery range, the swimming pool and the zip-line.
