Our work to promote awareness stands out from the sea of pink ribbons that dominate Breast Cancer Awareness. While other companies are turning pink for the cause, we instead share lemons-lemons that TEACH information that actually saves lives. Something that a pink ribbon alone cannot do.
Do you LOVE teaching? Do you have a passion for helping people? Are you able to talk about a difficult topic in a fun and relatable way? Are you passionate about volunteering and making a difference in your community? We've got the position for you!
OUR VISION IS A WORLD WHERE FEWER WOMEN (AND MEN) DIE FROM BREAST CANCER.
Our Certified Global Educators are the WARRIORS in our mission. Without our educators, we can't continue our mission. We create educational tools and training to help our volunteer educators, known as "Lemonistas," reach people in ways never before possible with breast cancer-that overcome taboo, literacy and fear-and are completely inclusive of gender, age, ethnicity and background. In order to expand our reach to as many as possible, we want to empower educators with training and tools to make an impact in their local communities and abroad through our new online course.
Our Know Your Lemons(r) certified online course gives Lemonistas the knowledge and skills they need in order to teach with the most impact. No health background is necessary. On average, the course takes about 2 hours to complete and is offered in English.
To become a Know Your Lemons(r) Global Educator, you must fill out an application below.
Upon passing the course, educators receive a digital teaching kit, complete with:
- powerpoint deck with visuals as only Know Your Lemons(r) can do (works in any language, any background, any age, any gender).
- two digital games to play: a memory matching game to teach the 12 signs of breast cancer, and a steps for detection game to teach the options available for screening and diagnosis
- a Know Your Lemons(r) app that can help those you teach stay on top of their breast health, book mammograms and teach them how to self-exam (and more)
- a Know Your Lemons(r) teaching certificate - access to the Know Your Lemons Global Educator Network, with webinars to exchange best practice and submit update requests
- ability to see your contributions as part of a global effort to reduce deaths from breast cancer
You will also receive a welcome kit in the mail after your post-certification phone call. To apply, please follow this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScGiXyv_9n-sWB4SrrYZDGNwX8_Lz5CQVq1PVUDYz0zKxfRWw/viewform

Mission Statement
Our mission is to improve early detection for breast cancer worldwide through creative and empowering education. Our vision is a world where patients feel empowered with knowledge and confidence to report breast changes and participate when screening is available. These two actions will improve breast health and reduce deaths from the disease.
Description
OUR GOAL
As an Associated Member of the United Nations Department of Global Communications, we will be a change-agent for this goal with breast cancer. We are aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #3 to "Reduce Deaths from noncommunicable diseases (like breast cancer) by one-third by 2030."
OUR IMPACT
We will "change the picture of breast cancer for good" through an innovative approach to breast health education around the globe.
OUR APPROACH
Design is at the core of our organization. Not only in our appearance, but our approach in a thoughtful human-centered way. We use design in a way that communicates to women and men, regardless of their ethnicity, age, or literacy level. We cross cultural understandings and comfort levels by using visual metaphor and universal design to educate the public on symptoms, self-exams, screenings, and testing. We adjust to meet local conditions and access to medical services. Our practices and educational tools are evidenced-based.
