Founder: Allison Kang
Allison Kang is a senior at Cherry Hill High School East and the Co-Founder of Patch heART Works, a volunteer club she started with her brother in 9th grade. The student-run initiative brings art therapy programs to seniors in local communities, using creativity as a bridge for comfort and connection. While the club began as a shared idea, Allison now leads its growth as President—designing workshops, coordinating volunteers, and partnering with senior centers to expand its reach.
Her creative journey began early: in 2017, she was honored as a State Finalist in the Doodle 4 Google competition. Since then, she has continued to use art as a form of service, from hand-made cards for seniors at Korean cultural centers to large-scale community workshops through Patch heART Works. Today, she hopes to broaden the impact of art therapy and bring healing through creativity to more communities.
Beyond her volunteer work, Allison enjoys biking, spending time with friends, and catching up on sleep—but her greatest fulfillment comes from building projects that brighten the lives of others.
