Youth Rally
Youth Rally – be a part of it! Every summer on a university campus youth rally sponsors a camp for 11-17 year olds with an ostomy or related procedure. The rally provides an opportunity for these young people to meet and interact with each other. There are a number of activities to engage in that offer education and psychosocial support to foster independence towards active adult lives. Please consider sponsoring a young ostomate or volunteering as a camp counselor. Mideast region provides financial support to off set the costs for the camper and counselor. Visit the Mideast region of the WOCN (mideastregion.org) and/or the youth rally (rally4youth.org) web pages for more information. CONTACT US
