Volunteer to Host a Child Through The Fresh Air Fund
| Have you heard of The Fresh Air Fund? This awesome organization finds host families for New York City youth to experience life in the suburbs or country. The Fresh Air Fund needs host families in 13 Northeastern states to open their home to a child for one to two weeks this summer. Here is some more info from their website: Host a Child Thanks to host families who open up their homes for a two weeks each summer, children growing up in New York City’s toughest neighborhoods have experienced the joys of Fresh Air vacations. More than 65% of all children are reinvited to stay with their host family, year after year. Fresh Air Fund Host Families There is no such thing as a "typical" host family. If you have room in your home - and your heart - to host a child, you could be one too.
Fresh Air children are boys and girls, six to 12 years old, who reside in low-income communities in New York City and are eager to experience the simple pleasures of life outside the city. | |
