When a child confronts serious illness or loss in their family, and their parents can’t be home for them during those crucial afterschool hours, i-Shine is there.

i-Shine, a community-based project of Chai Lifeline, provides afterschool mentoring, homework help, friendship and fun in a supervised and supportive environment. Through turbulent times, our trained high school i-Shine volunteers serve as big brothers and sisters to children, instilling them with a sense of stability, resilience and confidence. Transportation, warm meals and exciting activities are provided each week. Even during this COVID-19 pandemic, i-Shine remains fully operational, coordinating amazing events and activities while complying with all safety regulations and protocols.

Your tax-deductible contribution will have a direct impact, enabling i-Shine to continue to be there for children when they need us most. Please give generously to our campaign and join us on December 8 as we celebrate this wonderful organization at Chai Lifeline’s virtual Global Gala.


Thank you,
