National Campus & Youth Engagement Team (NCYET)

The National Campus & Youth Engagement Team (NCYET) provides support, develops resources, and facilitates the creation of a national network of students, faculty, and staff who are committed to the fight against cancer. Then NCYET partners with volunteers nationally to further engage and support.

The National Campus & Youth Engagement Team (NCYET) is made up of 13 student volunteers and 6 ACS/ACSCAN staff partners who work to provide nationwide strategy and direction to the collegiate and youth fundraising programs.
