YACS
{young adult cancer support}
YACS creates local communities of young adults committed to making a difference in the young adult cancer FIGHT. YACS provides opportunities for young adults to connect through formal support groups as well as social and volunteer opportunities. Each YACS group is unique in nature regarding its participants, location and vision. Although different, the three YACS groups all have the same overall mission – to support young adults impacted by a cancer diagnosis.
Unity is strength - In working together, these young adults will find the most effective means of raising awareness, supporting each other and effecting positive change for young adults with cancer.
A cancer diagnosis can be a confusing, life altering experience for the individual as well as their friends and family. With YACS groups meeting in College Park, DC, Baltimore & Pittsburgh we hope to reach those who need support and spread the FIGHT.
