Be A Mentor

Make an Impact. Share Your Story. Become a Breast Cancer Mentor.

Looking for a meaningful way to give back? Join our community of Breast Cancer Mentors—breast cancer survivors who generously volunteer their time to support others newly diagnosed or navigating their journey.

Your experience matters. The challenges you’ve faced, the insights you’ve gained, and the strength you’ve built can provide comfort, reassurance, and hope to someone who truly understands.

As a mentor, you’ll offer peer-to-peer support in ways that feel natural and flexible:

  • One-on-one phone calls
  • Texts and emails
  • In-person meetups
  • Online connections

We know that sometimes the most powerful support comes from simply saying, “I’ve been there.” While our mentors do not provide medical advice, they offer something just as important—empathy, understanding, and connection.

Beyond mentorship, there are also opportunities to lend your talents to support the broader mission of the organization. Whether it’s helping with events, outreach, or behind-the-scenes efforts, your time and skills can make a real difference.
