This manuscript reports on the design, implementation, and evaluation of the Young Adult Survivor Conference (YASC)-a 4-day retreat designed to provide an educational and support experience for cancer survivors diagnosed as children, adolescents, and young adults. The goals of the program were to address issues of survivorship, provide cancer education and tools for self-advocacy, and build bridges of support among young adult cancer survivors who may be experiencing similar journeys through life. THE PROGRAM: YASC was designed to offer advocacy skills specific to participants' needs. Workshops focused on understanding late effects, mentoring and communication, tips for starting peer support programs and networks, and opportunities for offering public testimony and involvement in public policy.
