YSC Duluth ConstituentsThe Young Survival Coalition Duluth was created in April of 2005 through the hard work and dedication of three young survivors. Since its inception, it has been our goal to be the face of young women with breast cancer throughout our service area. We regularly participate in events in cooperation with the medical, breast cancer and general communities in order to share the knowledge that "Young Women Can AND DO Get Breast Cancer."

We are honored to represent the Young Survival Coalition and bring its national focus to the Arrowhead Region, which includes Northern Minnesota, Northwestern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is our goal to extend the reach and name recognition of the YSC and to be the premier support organization for young women with breast cancer in our area. Read more about the YSC Duluth History.
