Shadow Shine is a 501(C) organization providing siblings in the shadows a chance to feel loved and special. Through our Scout and Sidekick Program, these children are partnered with young adults (high school students) who have lived through similar family situations. Their unique understanding allows these Scouts the chance to provide impactful guidance and lifelong bonds to children who could benefit from more focused attention.
Through our unique Scout and Sidekick program, siblings of children with medical needs (Sidekicks) can find guidance, attention, and friendship with their older counterparts (Scouts). Scouts will develop a connection with the Sidekicks to ensure the young men and women feel as important as their siblings.
While there will be planned large group outings, Scouts and Sidekicks will also have the opportunity to connect as often as they’d like. This enables Scouts and Sidekicks to decide how they spend time together, making sure they’re able to enjoy the activities they personally love.
This two year program will naturally connect entire families with children who have medical needs to one another. As long-lasting bonds are built, this optional extension of the program will create opportunities for support throughout the family.
Our mission is to serve as a catalyst for siblings of children with special healthcare needs by making them feel heard and seen in a safe space with support, meaningful relationships and leadership opportunities.
We are hoping with the funds raised during this campaign we will be able to cover the Scout and Sidekick kick off event, trainings and outings for Scout and Sidekicks.
Cover the Cost of the Pairing Kickoff Event - $2,000
Support a Pairing for a Year - $1,500
Support a Scout or Sidekick for a Year - $750
Cover Training Event - $250
Cover One Month of Activities - $100
We respect and value diverse life experiences and ensure that all voices are valued and heard. We're committed to modeling diversity and inclusion for the entire nonprofit sector, and to maintaining an inclusive environment with equitable treatment for all
