Our Mission:
Our mission is to support young adults living with, through, and beyond cancer. To be the connection to peers, bridge out of isolation, and source of inspiration. Every cancer, every stage, YACC's got your back.
Currently Seeking Board Member(s):
YACC is actively recruiting new board members who are deeply committed to supporting young adults affected by cancer and who view YACC as a philanthropic priority. Ideal candidates will possess 3-5 years of previous board experience and have expertise in the fields of communication, technology, law, or fund development, which will be considered valuable assets.

We seek individuals who are dedicated to contributing to a collaborative team and who are passionate about achieving our strategic goals. This volunteer commitment entails attending Board and/or Committee meetings, participating in Board Development activities, and engaging in other relevant initiatives. While quarterly meetings can be conducted at YACC HQ or online, we strive to bring everyone together for an in-person board days twice a year.
