Our mission is to support, develop and empower young people living with cancer through a national support network, and high quality education.

CanTeen was established to ensure that no young person in New Zealand living with cancer should ever have to feel alone. Since its inception, CanTeen has had a clear focus on the needs of young people living with cancer. CanTeen's foundation was built upon the fundamental belief that young people - through meeting, talking and sharing their experiences - would be better able to cope with the uncertainties of living with cancer. CanTeen believes the best people to support young people living with cancer are those who have 'been there, done that' or are going through similar experiences. Members - consisting of young cancer patients, their siblings and bereaved siblings between the ages of 13-24 come together to form a national peer support network throughout New Zealand.
