YACC Expeditions mission

To help young adult cancer survivors identify, process and apply life lessons through adventure activities.

Many young adults feel they have missed out on some of the best years of their lives and feel intense pressure to "get on with it" once they have finished treatments. They often jump right back on the path they were following pre-diagnosis just to realize that so much has changed and what they thought was important to them is not so important anymore.

In order to move forward in a healthy way it is important for survivors to feel like they have permission to stop and reflect on the past, refocus on the present, and rebuild their lives in light of what they have learned about themselves through cancer. This is the next step in your journey with Young Adult Cancer Canada.
