Youth Strong
Youth Strong is a free, year-long program designed to support childhood cancer survivors—from infancy through age 18—in regaining their health and well-being. The program provides a supportive, community-centered environment where survivors and their families can rebuild strength, enhance resilience, and develop a strong sense of connection and belonging.
The Program
The goals of the Youth Strong program are to help young cancer survivors build supportive relationships in a safe and welcoming environment, while strengthening their mind, body, and spirit. Through engaging activities and a caring community, the program aims to increase energy levels, reduce the impact of treatment side effects, and most importantly—make room for fun and connection along the way.
