Founded and run by Executive Director Astrid Wielens, Zebra Crossings provides programs for children with chronic health conditions - including those at risk for developing such conditions – and their families.
In New Hampshire alone, over 10,000 children suffer from life-threatening chronic illnesses, and Zebra Crossings programming helps these children gain self-confidence and a sense of independence, develop friendships, set life goals and take responsibility for the personal; health and well-being. Programs include sports and recreation, climbing and hiking, theatre and performing arts, cooking’ gardening, photography horseback riding, dance, arts and crafts, woodworking and more.
Zebra Crossings programs are supported through gifts from donors and sponsors. Families only pay a small registration fee to participate, and scholarships are available to keep underserved families from taking part in the various programs.
