Fresh Air Fund Interviews

 ,   Add to calendar
 South Whitehall  See map

Host family interviews are happening NOW for anyone interested in changing a child's life through the Fresh Air Fund!

6,000 city children dream of a vacation, but only 3,000 host families participated last year. We need more in the Lehigh Valley to make these kids' dreams come true!

Email Jenae at LVFreshAir@gmail.com for info.

Trips are 1 or 2 weeks long and occur during July/August 2012. Simple application process.

Singles, couples and families can host. Children are ages 6 to 12. Fresh Air covers all costs for transportation to and from NYC as well as medical insurance. No long-term commitment unless you choose to re-invite your Fresh Air child in the following summers.

Together we can change lives!

I contacted LVHN several months ago about volunteering with my son (8 years old) at the AndersonRead More campus. I would stay with him at all times and supervise him. I was told that they do not accept children. I think its a shame that the hospital will not accept him a a volunteer. I am trying to teach him how to give back to his community . Apparently the hospital does not want our help. I think several patients, especially older ones, would like getting assistance from a young child.

Tom, LVHN does not have an Anderson Campus. I believe you are referring to St Luke's Health Network.Read More LVHN is not able to accept volunteers under the age of 16 years old. There are many mandated reasons that young children are not allowed to volunteer in a hospital setting. Volunteering is a wonderful thing to teach your children. There are organizations in the Leigh Valley who are willing to utilize families. Please visit the Volunteer Center of the Leigh Valley for other opportunities in your area. www.volunteerlv.org
