Kesem at the University of Cincinnati

Kesem at the University of Cincinnati is UC's chapter of a nationwide nonprofit organization called Kesem. Kesem is a nationwide community, driven by passionate college student leaders, that supports children through and beyond their parent’s cancer. Kesem is the largest national organization dedicated to supporting children impacted by a parent’s cancer, at no cost to families. Our innovative and fun-filled programs provide children with peers who understand their unique needs, and create long-lasting impact.

We allow students at UC to get service and leadership opportunities through participating in our General Body Meetings, volunteer opportunities, and hosting a free summer camp free of charge to children. The true power of Kesem comes from empowering passionate college student volunteers to become leaders in their own local communities. We are proud to continually invest in training, support, and leadership development opportunities for our student leaders, as they prepare to provide life-changing experiences for our families nationwide.
