Young Perspective Newsletter

The YSC publishes Young Perspective, a newsletter for our constituents, friends, family and supporters, which updates you on the YSC's programs, events, research agenda and conferences. The newsletter highlights our accomplishments in the research and legislative communities, where we advocate for the needs of young women, educate the medical and breast health communities, and recognize the individuals and companies who share the mission of the YSC and make our work possible.

In each issue, we highlight individuals who are making a difference: a survivor who inspires others, a YSC affiliate volunteer who provides a lifeline to young women in their community or other volunteers who give their time, energy and passion to fullfilling the YSC mission.
