Our mission
Project Sunflower's mission is to create a supportive community for families whose children are navigating or have survived chronic illness. We provide a safe and welcoming space where participants can connect and build lifelong friendships with people who truly understand their journey. We aim to support these families through age-specific groups, peer mentorship, and guidance from trusted adults and specialists.

Our values
Empathy first
We lead with understanding. Every conversation, program, and decision is guided by compassion for what members are going through.
Safety always
We create moderated, age-appropriate spaces where teens can share without fear of judgment or pressure.
Peer-led power
The heart of Project Sunflower is young people supporting each other. Lived experience is our greatest strength.
Hope in action
We believe that post-diagnosis life can be full of joy, friendship, and purpose. We help teens find proof of that every day.
