Paper Crane is a student-run org that creates art kits and hosts creative workshops for pediatric patients at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland. Members design and package activity kits with all supplies and instructions included, and the club is resuming in-person volunteering at the hospital. The emphasis is on the therapeutic and cathartic powers of art, with a tight-knit, self-described 'very chill' community that welcomes students from any background.
