Our volunteers
Whether advocating for research, organizing an event, or providing emotional support, our Leadership Volunteers dedicate themselves to ensuring the next generation of people with breast cancer feel more informed and less alone.
Compassionate, informed, authentic, strong, vulnerable, focused, honest, passionate. These are just a few words that describe Living Beyond Breast Cancer’s Leadership Volunteers. Our volunteers use their personal experiences with breast cancer to provide support, educate the public, fundraise for LBBC, and advocate for the needs of all people impacted by breast cancer.
LBBC Leadership Volunteers are our ambassadors on the ground. Get to know the members of our current classes, who serve alongside the more than 500 trained LBBC volunteer leaders in nearly every state across the country.
