Youth Cancer Council (YCC)
At the core of YARN is the Youth Cancer Council (YCC), a pan-European advisory group of 100 young people with lived experience of cancer.
The Council plays an active role in consultation, decision-making, and project design across YARN. By embedding lived experience throughout the project’s governance and delivery, YARN ensures that youth perspectives are not only represented but are actively shaping the systems, policies, and standards that affect them.
From 15 to 17 February, the Youth Cancer Council will hold its second in-person meeting in Brussels, Belgium.
