Get to Know Us a Little Better...
YACS Atlanta hosts monthly social events for cancer survivors in their
20s and 30s. We get together for dinner, drinks, trivia, or just to hang out.
No doctors or therapists. Just a group of new friends who can relate to the ups
and downs of the cancer roller coaster.
Most of us have many online cancer friends across the country. But when is
the last time you jumped on a plane to have dinner with a friend you met online?
(Don't answer that.) We believe that local friendships in their own right have
healing powers! Not to mention good belly laughs.
You are a survivor from the day you are diagnosed. In treatment or out, join us!
How It All Started
YACS Atlanta was founded by Jenn Potter in October 2006. Jenn is an 10-year
survivor of metastatic papillary thyroid cancer. Inspired by the Lance Armstrong
Foundation's LIVESTRONG Summit, Jenn founded YACS Atlanta to meet a
growing need for young adult supportive services in the metro Atlanta area. With
a Masters in public health and health education, Jenn has worked in cancer
outreach for nearly 10 years and is thrilled to ride the cancer roller coaster with
her feisty new friends.
