About Us

Who We Are

Joy in Motion is a student-led nonprofit organization created to bring positivity and engagement into healthcare settings. We work to make patients' experiences more meaningful beyond their medical care.

Students

Powered by students

Our organization is powered by students who take on leadership, volunteering, outreach, and creative roles within their local communities. Members bring their own interests and talents to help shape Joy in Motion.

What We Do

Partnering with hospitals

Joy in Motion chapters collaborate with hospitals and rehabilitation centers to organize activities and distribute Activity Kits designed around four areas: movement, creativity, education, and social connection.
