Integrative Touch for Kids

I have worked with ITK as an intern for only a short time, and I cannot express how wonderful this company is. The work that they do is phenomenal. I see people helped and healed everyday that I peak into the programs they offer. In terms of management, I don't think I have every worked for a better company. They truly care about their employees, interns, and patients. I hope more and more people are pointed in the direction of ITK, because they will never look back!

I have been a volunteer for Integrative Touch for Kids (ITK) for 8 years now. This groundbreaking organization provides integrative healing therapies to children with special medical needs, as well as their families and caregivers. During the pandemic ITK redesigned their approach to providing services instituting 8 week TeleFriend sessions pairing a volunteer child, a volunteer adult and a child recipient on regular weekly zoom sessions designed to develop friendships through the seclusion. Family members, siblings, and caregivers too receive TeleWellness sessions via zoom presenting them with a wealth of strategies to minimize stress and maintain their well-being. Through the ITK TeleFriend and TeleWellness Program, recipient children, family members, caregivers and volunteers from around the world have been able to participate and benefit from services.

I am a volunteer in ITK's telefriend program for a year and counting. My buddy lives in Chicago and I am so grateful to have met him and spend time with him via zoom every week. The program is more than just volunteering to help kids with special needs, it's also about making wonderful friendships. For example, I am traveling to Chicago this Thanksgiving and during my stay there I will get to see my buddy and we will go enjoy a scoop of ice cream!

I have been a volunteer intern at ITK and WOW I have enjoyed my experience so far. This internship has given me the ability to create new friendships and learn more about the importance of supporting individuals with health concerns in the Tucson community and around the country. ITK is very beneficial for a child’s development because of the types of relationships, activities, and education they gain throughout their experience. ITK offers a strong community of interns, volunteers, and health workers who are all working towards the goal of improving the overall well-being of an individual in any way they can. As a Program Evaluator for ITK, I have first-hand seen individuals feel more supported, loved, and relaxed after a TeleFriend/TeleWellness session. I am very fortunate to be a part of an organization that puts so much love and compassion into their work. I would recommend ITK to any individual, child, or family who is looking for some support in their life.

ITK is an amazing organization that’s seeking to help both children and their families. I’m currently working at ITK as an intern and it has been such a wonderful experience. As an intern, I have worked primarily on the Telefriend series and I have seen first hand how much this program has benefited children who have participated. You are able to see the growth and happiness in the participants throughout the series. Overall, ITK is a wonderful resource for individuals and I would highly recommend the programs that they offer!

I am a volunteer intern with ITK and I have felt extremely grateful to be part of this organization. The leadership and significantly noticeable impact that ITK has had on the Tucson Community and the Wellness Sector as a whole has been inspiring to me. Everyone involved at ITK places a high value on compassion, adaptability, and collaboration. The communal effort and supportive teamwork of the individuals within the organization is notable. I have witnessed transformation and appreciation from the participants and their loved ones for the services provided by ITK. My understanding of health promotion and health intervention has transformed from seeing ITK's impact. My time with ITK has reminded me in my career search to join a community with a tangible impact and an organization where the company values are reflected in their work.

ITK is a wonderful resource for children and adults seeking connections from all over the country. I began working with ITK in August 2021 as a Program Evaluator for ITK's telewellness programs. Even in this short time, it is clear that ITK works to meet the moment.
Since COVID hit, ITK has adapted its programming to ensure the organization could still support the community. As an intern, I had received overwhelming support to help me succeed in my role. The wellness programs are tailored to each individual participant. Much of the organization is run by engaged volunteers who care deeply about the organization's mission. If you are interested in the work ITK is doing, check out the podcast, Conversations on Healing! The podcast is hosted by ITK's Executive Director, Shay Beider, and includes guests from various disciplines.

As an intern at ITK, I have had the privilege of getting to know the team and seeing the amazing work they do. I have never met a group of people so compassionate and driven for a common purpose. It has been an inspiration to work so closely with these people and has truly opened my eyes to the impact these programs have, not only in the lives of the participants, but their families as well. It's been so powerful seeing the participant transform throughout the series and open up more.
I have never worked with a group that has been more organized and dedicated to making everything run smoothly. They are extremely inclusive, and I have always felt valued and respected on the team!

Volunteering at ITK has been such a rewarding process. In just a short period of time, I have seen so many people benefit from ITK's programs. Participants always leave the session lighter and more joyful. The staff is also wonderful and supportive. I can not recommend this organization enough, especially for families with a member with some kind of condition.

As a volunteer for ITK, my entire idea of non-profits and healing work has changed. Before, I was unaware of the positive effects healing services could have on individuals and families as a whole. Through working with ITK, I have come to realize the transformational effect such services can have. For anyone struggling, ITK is an amazing resource and I cannot recommend it enough. The staff is extremely caring and goes above and beyond to ensure their volunteers and participants receive the utmost treatment.

I was touched by the work that ITK does. With the first TeleWellness I was a program evaluator for, I had an instant connection with the healers and the patient for that session. Over time, I was able to see how the healers had a significant impact on the patient, and I was able to watch her grow and become stronger with each session. Though the healers were not directing their lessons to me, I was still able to benefit from the lessons they taught. I am grateful for the experience that I have been having with ITK!

It is such an honor to support the important work of ITK through my role as Advisory Council Member. Everyone on the ITK team - professional and lay - leads with such great passion, kindness, and commitment to ITK's mission. ITK has always played an important role in the Tucson community supporting families whose children have special health and medical needs, but as you can imagine, it's work is more critical than ever before. Through it's innovative telehealth programs, developed in direct response to these unprecedented times, ITK now reaches families far beyond Tucson and is providing much needed support to our amazing healthcare workers fighting this pandemic on the front lines. Giving back has never felt so good!

Integrative Touch for Kids (ITK) is a small but mighty powerhouse run by a creative, dynamic, and tireless team focused on changing the lives of families with kids with special medical needs and their communities. They are making a huge impact within the medical and caregiving spaces as well as they work to not only heal and nurture but to improve wellness and knowledge through training and education. They are an organization growing in all the right ways with a very bright future.

I have been an intern at Integrative Touch for Kids since March 2020 and it has entirely changed my outlook on so many things. When I first joined the team, I was only expecting to stay until July since I was graduating from my university in May 2020. However, we are now in October and I am still here and do not plan on leaving at the moment. I only worked in the office for a few weeks before the state lock down happened, but everyone's communication at ITK is so top tier that the move over to working remotely was smooth. I have been able to personally experience how much ITK had done/continues to do for children and their families and how this organization reaches so many areas in and outside of Tucson. There is just so much joy when I talk to these individuals and they express what ITK means to them and how we all as a team have helped them out in so many ways. Most recently, we have been working with Healthcare workers in our TeleWellness Program and it warms my heart to hear what the program means to them, especially during this tough time right now. The group of people at ITK are also so considerate, welcoming, and are filled with so much empathy. This is another reason why I continue to want to be a part of the organization. They make everyone feel like family and that they have value. ITK has also taught me so much on what I can do to help others and I will forever be appreciative of that. I have been wanting to do my part in the community for a while and I have learned how I am able to, especially in a time of social distancing right now.

I have been volunteering with ITK for over 7 years and have been amazed to see how the programs have continued to grow and adapt. Most recently, I was a TeleFriend volunteer. Having the opportunity to interact with kids and families during this period of social isolation brought so much warmth into my life. The staff and volunteers at ITK are dedicated and act with so much love and compassion. I am honored to able to continue watching ITK grow.

I am a volunteer with Integrative Touch for Kids and I am constantly in awe of the positive impact this organization is having on so many families and providers. The whole ITK team is responsive to the needs of the community. What is most impressive to me is ITK's ability to provide services such as telehealth programs, podcasts, and wellness resources during this difficult pandemic. ITK is innovating the integrative health space and is paving the way to a brighter future in medicine.

I’ve been working with ITK for several months now and I could not imagine a better organization to be a part of. The people who work for ITK are the most caring, warm, and selfless people I have ever met. ITK is doing such good for the world. I’ve been able to see first-hand how their TeleHealth programs are changing peoples lives. It’s inspiring to watch the healers do their magic and help the people ITK works with. I love watching ITK grow, and can’t wait to see what they do next! :)

I have seen firsthand how ITK is changing so many lives for the better, from healthcare providers to kids with special needs and their families. Being a part of the ITK team has been the most amazing experience and I could not ask for a better agency to work with for my internship. I am beyond grateful for this opportunity and getting to interact with incredible people who are so passionate about changing the lives of so many people.

Integrative Touch for Kids is a wonderful foundation. I have seen them provided so much support and love to people around the world during COVID-19. I would highly recommend any of my friends or family members to reach out to ITK if they feel in need for emotional or physical support. 10/10 a great foundation!

Rachel Foote-Program Evaluator and ITK Intern (2019-2020)

I am so thankful for my internship with this organization, Integrative Touch for Kids, as it has entirely changed my outlook on healthcare and wellness. I was anticipating this internship as an opportunity for me to give back my time and effort to the Tucson community, which has been my home for the past four years as I have been a student at the U of A. I never expected that I would be the one reaping the benefits of Integrative medicine, and having my life changed by the folks of ITK and the patients and families that I encountered.

ITK’s mission is to change the way people experience health and healing through a Whole Child, Whole Family, Whole Community wellness model. The goal of each session for ITK is to focus on the individual and their needs. The patient is always in the driver’s seat and the ITK team follows their lead, keeping in mind all aspects of their being-medical conditions, family dynamics, and personal emotions. This is such a refreshing view on healthcare, as many times a holistic approach is not always prioritized.

If you are not aware of what integrative medicine entails, but you feel like your family and kiddo can benefit from some wellness care and healing, please reach out to Integrative Touch for Kids and keep up to date on their upcoming events across Tucson!

I was an intern for ITK in 2017 when I was a student at the UofA, and if you have never been to their website or heard of the amazing work they do.... YOU NEED TO! If you are looking to give your time, intern or whatever your case may be, please consider reaching out to ITK. They have amazing opportunities to volunteer at and you get to see some pretty incredible life changing stuff! If you are not able to volunteer, please consider a monetary donation! The ITK team is AMAZING! Incredible organization!

ITK offers hope, love and comfort to families and children with special medical needs. ITK also offers hope, love and comfort to those who volunteer for the organization including myself, as a healing arts practitioner, board member and event committee member. ITK supports and creates health in individual and group relationships.

Over the years I have volunteered for many non-profit organizations and I have been so impressed with the mission and the work done by Integrative Touch for Kids. The founder Shay Beider has created an innovative program to reduce the stress of children in the hospital and their families during one of the most trying times of their lives. ITK has expanded that program of integrative healing therapies to include Community Clinics, Care for the Caregivers, and Healing Circles. All the staff and their volunteers are the most wonderful people you will ever meet and I feel so lucky to be part of their programs. Volunteering for ITK has been the best experience! Congrats to Integrative Touch for Kids for all the work you do for the community. ❤️

I have been volunteering for ITK for more than 3 years now and I have enjoyed every experience. I found my passion for public health through ITK and it became my life mission to promote community health. The organization has helped thousands of families and inspired so many individuals. The ITK team also provides many opportunities for those in the community to volunteer behind the scenes. I have enjoyed my experience so much that I have encouraged my friends and my sister to volunteer because I know that they can also learn so much. Thank you, ITK! For your hard work, passion, and kindness.

I am so proud to support and volunteer for this caring organization. Everyone I’ve ever interacted with has the best intentions and is so thoughtful in what they do and how they do it. I’m excited to be a part of ITK growing and reaching more people and families.

Such a wonderful cause and such an amazing group of people. Integrative Touch for Kids helps children and their family deal with serious health issues like cancer and autism. The staff and volunteers are such a caring bunch that you'll feel better yourself just by becoming involved with the organization. I am a fan for life.

I started Volunteering for ITK after hearing about all the great work they do and I fell in love with their organization. I volunteered at their healing circle and I was assigned a kid to hang out with, do arts and crafts wit, listen to live music with and so many other fun things! All while doing this his parents got to do meditation, cooking classes and other relaxing activities. They where so grateful for the time they had relaxing and they where so happy to see their son getting a relaxing massage by one of ITK's healers when they came to pick him up. it was such a positive experience and full of wonderful people.

As a retired teacher, I wanted to find a place to continue to give to the community and I found that here in Integrative Touch for Kids. As a three and a half year volunteer, I am excited to tell others about the wonders that Shay, Kate, and the rest of the hospital team do to those they serve.

Although I work in the office and do "behind the scenes" things, I'm proud to say that I volunteer for ITK. I have seen the difference they make not only at the hospital, but at the community events as well. ITK's Healing Circles bring together families with similar issues and needs while allowing them a day to just...breathe. I watched in awe as the many volunteers and staff worked side by side to ensure that all families were given great care and love. I witnessed children and adults dance, take part in yoga and other self-help seminars, counseling sessions, play time activities, and even helped them create beautiful art pieces.

It is truly amazing the amount of things that this nonprofit organization does with so little. ITK serves the children and families of southern Arizona for free, but most of all, with love, compassion, and care. I encourage you to find a day to watch them in action or better yet, volunteer!

I've been volunteering with ITK for 4 months now, and love the organization! From the mission to the people it's an organization with a lot of heart. They definitely walk the walk that they talk.

I have worked with ITK for around 4 months now and they have become one of my favorite non profits to work with! I had seen them working in the hospital as I volunteered with Diamonds and I was moved by the way they worked with not only the patients but their families and health care team! Phenomenal team with the kindest hearts.

When I first encountered the people working for this nonprofit I was struck by their passion. Their passion to bring ancient healing arts into the heart of hospitals and to demonstrate that these diverse, non-invasive healing techniques significantly reduce pain, anxiety, and insomnia to name just a few. Often these hands on and energetic therapies work when medicine cannot, especially in the case of children who can only handle so much medicine in their little bodies. Not only that, this nonprofit is building systems of care that continue to support children and families after they have left the hospitals. I joined as a volunteer because I am inspired by the authentic passion with which this nonprofit is bringing alternative and integrative medicinal wisdom into the western allopathic medicine system for the benefit of all, starting with kids and their families.

I am proud to be a part of an organization that offers compassionate and individualized care that is often lacking in traditional healthcare services to children and their families in serious medical situations. ITK is filling a need in our community, and I have witnessed ITK staff and volunteers live by example by encouraging wellness lifestyle choices and bringing compassion, kindness, and positivity into the ITK office and culture.

Volunteering with this nonprofit has been an incredible experience. I truly think that everything they do and stand for is amazing, and I'm lucky to be able to contribute. I've worked in their office, volunteered at their gala, and worked at their healing circle and each experience allows me to see a different side of this organization. I love ITK and being able to see what a difference they make in people's lives.

I have had the great opportunity to work with Integrative Touch for Kids (ITK). My experience working with the organization has been amazing! I love everything they do. The first time I volunteered was at the Healing Circle. My friend had worked with the organization and recommenced that I volunteer for the Healing Circle. It was an experience that I will never forget. I loved being able to give so much to the families and children. The Hospital Heroes Program is also amazing and I love working with the team giving back in the clinical setting. The work ITK is doing is second to none and I constantly see how big of an impact that they are making for the community! I would recommend this organization to anyone.

Last year I had the pleasure of being introduced to ITK by a friend. I began by volunteering at their annual Butterfly Gala which was such a great experience! Every person that is a part of the ITK family welcomed me in with open arms from my very first day. I could instantly see from that first day this was such a great community of people giving their own time and wonderful skills to help as many people as possible. The Butterfly Gala was a great introduction into everything that ITK does for this community and the amazing vision they have for this organization! Shortly after that I had the opportunity to volunteer again at one of the Healing Circles ITK puts on. Here I got to see the immediate impact that this organization has on the children and their families. Through healing touch, music circles, and fun cooking classes provided by all their amazing volunteers I got to see children light up and smile from ear to ear the entire day! One thing that I think is so amazing about the ITK vision is not only providing for the children but for the families of these children as well. I saw so many happy children this day but on top of that I got to observe the physical and emotional relaxation of these parents and families. I now have the amazing opportunity of being an intern for these amazing people and organization that impact so many amazing families with what they do. Personally my dad, a cancer survivor, has been in and out of hospitals his entire life and seeing an organization trying to make these visits just a little more enjoyable is something that truly hits home with me and I'm honored to be able to help give back to this community every day any way I can.

As a pediatrician who works with hospitalized children, I can speak first-hand to the impact that the practitioners in Integrative Touch for Kids have on the children and families with whom I work. I have seen children with less pain and parents smile for the first time in days after just one session with the Hospital Heroes. They are often able to reach and connect with patients and their families in a way that I can't and support them so beautifully on their illness journey. I am so proud to know them.

I continue to be amazed by the work ITK is doing. I have worked for them for two years, and have seen the way they transform lives through healing. My area of research and work is in holistic healing, and the understanding that healing is different from curing. It is stronger and longer lasting. ITK has understood the healing process completely! Moreover, ITK brings these therapies to families who are economically disadvantaged and underserved, giving them access to these much-needed healing techniques, when they otherwise would never have them. It is moving healthcare in a direction that is more holistic and personalized. To me, it is the future.

Oursranding organization. Excelence in care for special need kids and their families. A team of compassionate practitioners and volunteers making what seems difficult and impossible to a heart warm experience. A vision and mission very clear to its core.

ITK changed our lives. We received support and understanding for raising a child with special needs. We felt more peace and healing and a community of support.

Integrative Touch for Kids (ITK) is an amazing, visionary non-profit. I first learned about their work about two years ago. Their Hospital Heroes Program at Banner Children’s Medical Center stands out. It offers integrative therapy modalities like massage, Healing Touch, play therapy, and acupressure for hospitalized children and their families free of charge.

As young child I went through many traumatic medical experiences, so right away I wanted to help support this wonderful program. ITK’s Hospital Heroes therapists make a big difference. They help calm fearful kids and reduce the pain and worry that can come with stressful hospital stays or chemotherapy.

The results are so remarkable that the Hospital Heroes Program is leading the way for other children’s hospitals to do the same. To this end, ITK is presenting its program research at several national conferences this year.

Today I now serve as a volunteer grant writer for ITK. I’ve met so many inspiring people and heard many deeply moving stories. I’m grateful and honored to help support ITK’s important work. They are a true treasure in our Tucson community!

ITK and its unique vision makes this is a very special non-profit with an integrative approach to healing and support for special needs children and their families, Having both been a volunteer and honored to be a hosted family at what was a game changing retreat, I have witnessed first hand the wonderful work that ITK does.

Shay and her fine staff and all of the volunteers continue to make ITK a very special non-profit of the highest order. Onward and upward ITK! Bravo!

We where a participating family at the very first healing retreat. It was an amazing magical experience that helped bring our family closer together. After the 1st year as a receiving family we have continued to volunteer with the program on many different levels. We have had the honor of watching ITK blossom and grow over the years.

ITK is an incredible organization that supports families with unique kids. We attended a retreat and it was life changing! Not only did we get support, but I left with a family of people that understood our challenges even though theirs were different. We later ended up receiving services through the hospital heroes program. Being in the hospital is really difficult with stays sometimes over two weeks long. My son and I would always look forward to ITK visits to take away some anxiety and make our stay a little less stressful. All of the people involved with ITK are incredibly beautiful souls and we are so honored to be a part of this amazing organization!

ITK is truly amazing nonprofit organization that offers help to children and families of Tucson that face and endure special medical needs. They offer a unique approach in that they support both the children and the families affected by catastrophic and chronic diseases and illnesses. I am very blessed to be associated with such wonderful group of caring and selfless people.

heart centered, caring organization that brings light and hope into the lives of families with children dealing with a variety of medical issues. The children get healing touch and friendship, the families get a sense of calm and even the doctors and nurses in hospital get a massage or therapeutical healing to ease their day of dealing with trauma. What a gift to everyone involved.

Integrative Touch for Kids is a unique non-profit organization. It is the only entity in Arizona (and, possibly, the country) that provides a wide range of healing touch therapies for children with a disability or a chronic disease. Its Hospital Heroes Program delivers these services to children in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units and to children in hospital for the treatment of cancer and other life threatening diseases. Additionally, ITK has held week long and weekend retreats for children and their families. The response from families, caregivers, doctors, nurses and other medical personnel is overwhelmingly positive. Children are able to reduce stress in preparation for medical procedures and parents also receive the same benefits. Doctors are fully supportive of ITK because they see the positive impact these services have on their patients and family members

ITK came into our lives at a time when we needed it most. We took part in one of their first retreats and, as a result, have made wonderful connections and lifelong friends. The experience has changed our lives and shown us the depth of caring and compassion of our community. Truly, love in action.

ITK has played a vital role in my families life for 5 years. We started out as a family participant at a week long retreat. Since the retreat we have moved to a volunteer role as much as we are able to. ITK has changed us in ways I can't even explain. I have 5 kiddos with multiple diagnosises. I was amazed at how much the grew in that week at the retreat. Less emotional melt downs, more communication and overall being able to handle situations better. We call it the ITK bubble of love and acceptance. Whenever we are with the ITK family we don't have to worry about judgement or stares or being told what we are doing is wrong. We have support, acceptance and are surrounded by people who want to help.

ITK was life changing for our family. The love, support, friendship, knowledge and sense of community we gained are incredible. As a family who received, everyone gained a lot. My child with special needs gained treatments she had never experienced, which helped her speech explode; my child withough special needs gained friendships and understanding she is not alone in this; my husband and I connected with others who understood our life.... we all took away great value that we are still today applying to our lives. We first came across ITK about 4 years ago. We still attend functions and highly value our connections we made years ago. ITK is unique and special. It teaches about integrative and holistic approaches, like massage, reiki, bars, aromatherapy, horse therapy etc that were unknown before. The moms from our group talk regularly, and support one another. It's a like minded group who "gets it", understands what it's like to be raising a child with unique and special needs. We share resources, struggles and triumphs. I honestly can't say enough how great and needed integrative touch for kids was for my family. Thank you Integrative Touch for Kids.

I am a long time volunteer for ITK. ITK is totally unique in its approach to and what it provides to families with children with special needs and life changing health issues. A myriad of services from hands on support, emotional, psychological and various therapeutic offerings are available to families that can't be found in other places. ITK offers ongoing support... again unique in that what is provided is not just a one time event. The families who have benefited from these special services have stayed connected over years.....a value that is priceless and unusual. I wish that ITK could provide what they do to more families and am hopeful that one day soon that will be the case.

ITK is a wonderful non-profit organization helping children (and their families)of all ages with severe medical challenges. Giving them the opportunity, comfort and support through many stages of their illness and care. Allowing many opportunities to do things that on a normal day they would not be able to do.
I have donated 9 years of my time working with this wonderful organization.
I would love to see as many people get involved to help these children and their families to continue to have as much of a normal life as possible.
Sandy

I never new the impact that the acts of kindness from strangers would have on my life.
I was always a giver, but new not how to receive until that day that are world turns upside down. My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. A year later my husband her father would die of kidney cancer. I would spend the next 5 years until this current day trying to bring my famly along, including my now 19 year old son.
ITK showed my Little famly kindness. ItK introduced me to other famlys who's lives revolved around a medically fragile child. ITK Gave me time away from my little girl so I could heal with my son, incorporating equine therapy. ITK had nurses on sight at the retreat so that I was confident that my daughter was taken care of while I was in group. I could not finance such a get away as the famly ITK retreat, and it was the first time I had ever received such kindness.
To this day Every Volunteer at ITK has shown me the gift of giving. I cannot thank ITK enough and remain grateful and eager to be of any event.

As a retired teacher, when looking for a place to volunteer, kids were to be the main focus and Integrative Touch for Kids certainly fit that bill. The impact this nonprofit has on children and their entire family is incredible. ITK focuses on the health of not only the ailing child, but the family as well since an illness impacts everyone. Being in a hospital is a scary place for many and with the help of Integrative Touch for Kids, patients and their families are able to relax and breathe a little easier. Throughout the year, one on one hospital visits, the fabulous ITK Play Dates, and their Healing Circles, allow healing to begin.
If you are looking for a place to help out your community either through your volunteering services or through a donation of money, Integrative Touch for Kids is a wonderful spot. It’s a wonderful organization where everyone involved is dedicated to the betterment and wellness of children and their families. I encourage you to become involved.

I have been volunteering for a few months now as a grant writer with ITK. As a "serial volunteer", I have been involved with several non-profits over the years. ITK is one of the most well-run and passionate organizations I have encountered. I had the opportunity to "shadow" one of their healing practitioners as she worked directly with pediatric patients, providing comfort therapy to them during hospital stays. What a unique and valuable service they offer to these children. I am honored to play a small role in the continued success of this special organization.

I'm a retired Special Education Teacher. I was looking for some volunteer work and heard about ITK from a friend. The first retreat I volunteered at was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I saw what a life changing experience it was, not only for the families chosen for the retreat, but also for all the many volunteers. From then on I was hooked. I have been a part of 3 retreats and will be participating in my fourth this summer. ITK is truly a great non-profit.

A spectacular nonprofit organization that stands for a wonderful cause. ITK reaches out to the families and children of Tucson with special medical needs in a unique and caring way. I am proud to offer continued support for this organization and am thankful to have been a part of it. What a life changing experience!

As a current volunteer for Integrative Touch for Kids, I can confidently say that the time I have spent with the organization has been 100% positive. I have gained valuable knowledge on integrative medicine, supporting the special needs community as well as personal relations experience. It is always a pleasant working environment with all co-volunteers, employees and leadership. The ITK mission is inspiring to be a part of and the perfect place for a community member to share their time.
