Who We Are

Nicklaus Children's Young Ambassadors (NCYA) is a vital partner of Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, driven by two core beliefs:

  • Every child deserves a healthy life, and every child should receive the best medical care when needed without having to leave South Florida.
  • Their collaboration with the Hospital and Foundation enables them to turn these beliefs into reality.

How We Serve

At the heart of NCYA is a simple yet powerful belief: investing in children's health today means investing in our future. Whether through financial contributions, events, or direct interactions with patients and the medical team at Nicklaus Children’s, we bring hope, compassion, and action.

As a network of young professionals dedicated to raising funds and awareness for Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, their commitment and contribution are driven by their passion and care—not because they must, but because they choose to.

Many are drawn to philanthropy out of a desire to give back, but NCYA has become more than just an organization—it has become a purpose-driven community. Unlike other causes where donations can feel disconnected, we see tangible results from our efforts. Their members know exactly where the support is going, and they witness firsthand the difference made.

Ultimately, it's about the kids. Below is a video that shares why some past and current members joined NCYA.
