Young Survival Coalition: Support and Hope for Young Women With Breast Cancer

Founded in 1998, Young Survival Coalition (YSC) is the premier global organization dedicated to serving the needs of young women who are diagnosed with breast cancer. YSC empowers and supports women by offering resources, outreach, and connections. The organization grew out of the experiences of three young women who were all diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 35. Recognizing the need for better information, research, and support for young women facing the same challenges as them, they started YSC.

Today, YSC has offices in New York, Atlanta, and Indianapolis, and supports and educates women throughout the US in four regions. YSC works with its members to advocate for more research about young women and breast cancer, educate women under the age of 40 about the importance of breast self-awareness and knowledge, and serve as a community of support for those with breast cancer. YSC does not discriminate and welcomes women of different backgrounds, cultures, and disabilities.
