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.
On 22 October, members of the Youth Cancer Council will come together in Berlin for an in-person meeting to strengthen collaboration and advance the work of the network.
