Kesem at Duke University

Kesem at Duke University Kesem is a nationwide community, led by passionate college student leaders, that supports children through and beyond their parent’s cancer.

Kesem is a federally registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Kesem is a diverse community led by passionate and empathetic college students working to ensure that children facing the challenges of a parent’s cancer have space, connection, and support to rediscover the joys of childhood. Our mission is to support children through and beyond their parent’s cancer with free, fun-filled crea

tive programs and a lasting community. Kesem at Duke University was founded in 2002 and supports children in the North Carolina community by providing Camp Kesem, two free week-long summer camp experiences, and year-round Through and Beyond support services. Our chapter is operated by 100 student volunteers and serves 150 campers ages 6-18 per year. Kesem operates at more than 130 chapters coast-to-coast. Its programs and services are all funded by generous donations from individuals, foundations, and corporate partners.
