First Connection is LLS's peer mentoring program that connects trained survivor volunteers with patients needing support during their cancer journey. This volunteer role supports the first connection program by connecting the requestor and the First Connection volunteer as well as documenting the match and feedback in Salesforce.
This important program for patients, caregivers and family members provides a positive experience in their cancer journey; and experience you get to be part of. First Connection requestors are often fearful of the unknown and the feeling as though no one understands their experience. This is an opportunity to be an important part of their cancer journey and provide much needed support, resources and comfort.
