CoachArt lessons are for children living with a serious illness and/or their siblings, ages 5-18. Children with behavioral, mental, and brain development disorders (such as ADHD or autism) do not qualify for CoachArt unless they also have an underlying chronic, physical illness. See a list of qualifying diagnoses here. Children must be able to work independently with volunteer coaches. Siblings may participate in the program even if the seriously ill child in their family does not. Family income is not a consideration for eligibility. If you have questions about a child’s eligibility, please contact CoachArt at join@coachart.org.
