Help Make Leadership Magic Happen
Our Student Leadership Weekend is just around the corner and we need your help to make it unforgettable for the young changemakers who power our mission.
Every year, we bring together college student leaders from across the country to connect, grow, and train in compassionate, child-centered care. These volunteers are the heart of A Moment of Magic and with your help, we can make their weekend as magical as the work they do.
Changing the World Once Community at a Time
By engaging volunteers from 25+ colleges and universities and partnering with more than 350 hospital partners and nonprofit organizations, we're making magic around the world and in your community.

Our Programs
When faced with hospitalization, children require excellent medical care to help heal their bodies, but they also need support and experiences that safeguard their minds and hearts.
Here's how we create moments that do just that:
Magic Makers | Character Program
A Moment of Magic volunteers are more than characters in costume -- they are trained companions on a child’s healing journey, using thoughtful, play-driven interactions to foster emotional resilience, build connection, and ensure every moment of magic supports the child’s broader circle of care.
Express, Create, Heal | Targeted Intervention Program
Express, Create, Heal is a trauma-informed mental health initiative designed for children affected by cancer, using peer-led, play-based programming to help them process complex emotions like grief, anxiety, and body image struggles all within a supportive community that fosters resilience, connection, and belonging.
