RISE Application

This is your opportunity to tell us about yourself—your hopes, ambitions, life experiences, and inspirations that would prepare you to serve as a RISE Leader. As you respond to the essay prompts, think about what you want the RISE program committee who will be reviewing applications to understand about you. While your personal statement is only one of the many factors we consider, it helps provide context for the rest of your application.

Using 500 words or less, please provide a statement indicating 1) your connection to YSC and 2) your interest or experience in advocacy and what it means to you in becoming the next generation of young leaders working to improve the quality and quantity of life for young women affected by breast cancer.
