Applications for Kesem at University of Maryland’s Executive Board will remain open until August 1st! Kesem is a nationwide nonprofit organization that supports kids through and beyond a parent’s cancer. Main programming includes a free week-long sleepaway camp for kids in the DMV, but Kesem also provides year-round programming, reunions, and individualized support depending on the needs of families.

Being a part of the Executive Board means you get to play a hands-on role in the functioning of Kesem’s UMD chapter. Not only will you have the opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of children affected by a parent’s cancer, but you will also make lifelong friendships along the way.

Serving on the Executive Board requires a 3-5 hour commitment per week, depending on the position.

There is availability in EVERY position, and prior involvement in Kesem at University of Maryland is NOT required. For a detailed description for each position, see the link below: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BvcVhbnMdVn4Sc2Klsqz4KMmhNw3JXTys4ao21hL72E/edit
