CoachArt lessons are for children living with a chronic illness and/or their siblings, ages 5-18. Children must be able to work independently with a volunteer arts or athletics instructors. Siblings may participate in the program even if the chronically ill child in their family does not, and family income is not a consideration for eligibility. Children with behavioral, mental and brain development disorders do not qualify for CoachArt unless they also have an underlying chronic illness. See a list of qualifying diagnoses here. If you have questions about a child’s eligibility, please contact the CoachArt office or email info@coachart.org.
