I designed a poster to promote the showing the videos and it was my first introduction to Baykids. The volunteers were great to work with, very responsive and appreciative. I was extremely impressed with the organization and the opportunity they are giving the children in creating the videos. The videos are amazing, and I am sure the kids get so much out of the experience.

I have been volunteering for BayKids for almost a year, helping kids at UCSF Children's hospital make movies. It has been amazing to see how BayKids affects kids in the hospital in very tangible ways. The children are so excited to have the opportunity to learn about making movies, and to actually get to make their own. While working on their movies, they get to express themselves creatively and just have some good fun... maybe even forgetting why they're in the hospital for a little while. BayKids' is a small organization (with an amazing team) but they touch kids in a huge and important way. If you want to make a big difference in the lives of children who are going through some challenging times, I highly recommending volunteering or donating to BayKids.
