Connecting Champions

Connecting Champions asks kids and young adults with cancer, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" & pairs them with a mentor in that field who can help achieve a brighter future. Our evidence-based, outcomes-driven approach has become nationally recognized. We have helped hundreds of young people across the U.S. better survive the cancer journey, psychosocially and vocationally. We give them the resources they need to envision life beyond the disease by exploring fields they love, acquiring skills/knowledge, or simply feeling like a kid again. Through our virtual and in-person programs, we've paired 3- to 26-year-olds (during treatment and survivorship) with a diverse network of mentors from 100 career paths such as NASA engineering, various trades, entrepreneurship, and even ghost hunting. Our mentors are there every step of the way.
