Young Empowered Survivors - www.youngempowered.org
Primarily an online resource, Young Empowered Survivors (YES!) helps to connect young adults dealing with a cancer diagnosis. The group focuses on support, empowerment, sharing perspectives and resources so that our members don't feel alone as they go through their cancer diagnosis and treatment. YES! provides a safe, supportive environment to do so.
The members of YES! have generally been diagnosed with cancer before the age of 45,  but don't put constraints on the word 'young.’  If you feel that you can benefit from our group, you are welcome to join.

Young Empowered Survivors is primarily an online resource.  We have an active message board for members to share questions, ideas and helpful resources.  We also meet once a quarter in a casual setting to allow members to spend time  with others who are going through or have gone through similar experiences.   We encourage new members get together with other members of the group.
