JoyRx Expands the Meaning of Wellness

JoyRx Mentorship

JoyRx is a mentorship program that matches kids diagnosed with cancer or other serious illnesses with caring adults who can provide support and encouragement. Since 1999, JoyRx has helped over 1,500 youth find a mentor who can offer a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, and a sense of normalcy during a difficult time.

Mentors in the JoyRx program come from all walks of life. They commit to spending six to eight hours per month with their mentee for a minimum of one year, providing the stability and consistency that is so important for these children.

JoyRx Nature

Since 2006, JoyRx Nature has offered free-of-charge retreats at the secluded Alexandra Ellis Caring Cabin® in Pacific City, Oregon and has welcomed more than 500 families to relax and enjoy the surrounding area. 

For 27 years, JoyRx has delivered programs to help kids and teens find their joy. “One song, one friendship, one breath of ocean air at a time.” Learn more.
