Host an Activity - Sean Dukes Activities Program

While staying at Gift of Life Howie's House, our guests often search for ways to decompress after a long day at the hospital. To help with this, we began our Sean Dukes Activities Program to facilitate activities, both volunteer- and staff-led, for our guests.

We welcome groups of all kinds to come and host an activity at Gift of Life Howie’s House. Some ideas for an activity, include:

• Teaching families how to knit,
• Teaching an American Sign Language lesson,
• Hosting a guided painting session,
• Conducting a science experiment,
• Teaching families to play Pokeno,
• Performing with your acapella group,
• Leading group yoga, or
• Hosting bingo.

We are open to hearing all activity suggestions!

Activities are held each night, but we recommend hosting on Sundays to Thursdays at 7:00 PM as this is when we are at our highest occupancy.

Volunteer Guidelines:

• Groups are limited to ten volunteers unless approved by the House before your arrival. The House has limited space, so we may not be able to accommodate groups exceeding ten volunteers.
• Children under 18 are welcome to volunteer. However, they must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or adult supervisor while visiting Gift of Life Howie's House.

We look forward to working with you!
