Please visit the new page to apply.
If you are a young woman affected by breast cancer or a health care provider that works with this population in the Hunstville, AL area, this is the perfect opporutnity for you!
YSC's Face 2 Face program or Networks of support are across the nation. The Hunstville F2F (http://www.meetup.com/Huntsville-Young-Survival-Coalition-Face-2-Face-Networking/) is in need of a new coordinator.
The Face 2 Face Networks are support groups for young women affected by breast cancer. They are usually run by a survivor volunteer and meet about once a month. YSC provides the training, the resources, staff support and funds to help sustain the group.
The Network was started several months ago and one of the volunteers had to step down and we are now in need of another volunteer. Coordinating a Face 2 Face Network is so rewarding when you see how it changes the lives of the women you connect with. Thank you for considering this awesome opportunity of providing support to young women affected by breast cancer in your local community!
Responsilbiities include:
- Plan/Post monthly meetings
- Attend monthly meetings
- Promote the Network (via social media and in the community)
- Manage the meetup.com page where new members join (post meetings on there and accept pending requests)
