Digital Support
FORCE has over 300 volunteers, including state advocacy leaders, resource navigation, research advocates, and one-to-one and group support. Our volunteers are trained through our FORCE Academy, which has dozens of role-specifc on-demand trainings.
Our Peer Navigation Program (PNP) matches users to trained, compassionate volunteers who share their mutation and situation and provides them with a personalized guide with expert- reviewed information and resources.
Our message boards and private FB groups allow people to connect in a secure environment with others affected by hereditary cancer to share their experiences and offer peer-to-peer support.
Finding resources, particularly for underserved communities, is a real issue. We address these disparities by connecting our community, through trained volunteers, to the help they need, including finding experts in their area, providing financial assistance, and assisting with insurance appeal letters.

2024 Priorities
In order to improve access to care, FORCE will launch a resource navigation program to guide constituents to healthcare experts, fnancial aid resources, and other options to help pay for care.
Create a targeted recruitment plan focused on identifying new volunteers who represent all our constituents, including Black, Indigenous, Asian Pacifc, and Latine people, as well as all people in the LGBTQIA community. Update the peer navigation training and resources to refect new genetic mutations and the increased need for support services for Previvors. We will also be increasing support for survivorship and well-being.
Grow our virtual support meetings to address health disparities and improve health outcomes for people from underserved and marginalized communities. Develop post-support meeting resource guides with additional relevant information for each community served to address their ongoing hereditary cancer needs.
