Since Cancer Fatigue Services opened our doors, we have observed time and again how important and validating it is for the people we support to connect with others who have a similar lived-experience. This is what Young Adult Cancer Canada (YACC) does, an organization founder Dr. Scott Adams has been working with since 2009.

YACC’s 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.

Young adults with a cancer diagnosis often find themselves in cancer centres, noticing others there in a different life stage–they have trouble relating. YACC’s programs and services are offered to Canadians diagnosed with cancer before the age of 40, and who are currently between the ages of 18-39.

YACC Delivers:

• 24/7 connection to a supportive community that truly understands the unique issues young adults face after a cancer diagnosis.
• Virtual programs like YACC Chats, Support Groups, and Writing It Out to help community members process their experiences through themed and guided conversations.
• In-person programs like Survivor Conference and Retreat Yourself Adventure to give you time, space, and resources to live and love life after a cancer diagnosis.
• Casual, social connections through Localife in eight cities across Canada, including Toronto and Ottawa!
