Family Activity Program

From arts and crafts to music and theater, children and families at our Houses love the chance to play and create together.

Family Activity volunteers create fun, imaginative activities for children and their families, including decorating pumpkins, face painting, story time, creating balloon animals, game night, LEGO building challenges, and putting on a magic show. Put your creativity to the test!

As a volunteer, you provide all the supplies for the planned activity and are welcome to come individually or as part of a group of up to eight people.

All volunteers must be at least six years old and at least one adult must be present for every three volunteers under the age of 17.

The Family Activity program is offered daily at our Ronald McDonald House near Lurie Children’s and weekly at our four other Houses.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for our Family Activity Program. Given the current spread of COVID-19, we are suspending this volunteer opportunity until further notice and are not currently accepting applications or scheduling Family Activity volunteer groups at this time.

While we value this offering for our families, we feel it prudent to limit visitation to our Houses. Thank you for your understanding, and we encourage you to check back in the coming weeks for further updates.
