CanTeen Auckland

CanTeen Auckland is a not for profit organisation supporting young people from the Auckland region living with cancer.

Auckland

Our mission is to support, develop and empower young people aged 13-24, living with cancer through a peer support network, and high quality education. CanTeen believes that young people - through meeting, talking and sharing their experiences - would be better able to cope with the uncertainties of living with cancer.

CanTeen Auckland supports over 400 young people living with cancer throughout the greater Auckland community, and has been doing so since 1986.

CanTeeners regularly get together for seasonal camps, weekends away, workshops, support groups, leadership development and other great social and recreational events. CanTeeners also support each other at home and in hospital.
