Have you every thought about giving a few hours a month to help others? We can use your talent and skill!

We need help to meet and greet people as they come in for Breast Health Services. Just a few hours each month can really make our Breast Center a welcoming place.

We are also seeking women who have experienced breast cancer and would like to be matched up with someone who is newly diagnosed. Our Compassionate Peer Advocacy and Support Program (COMPASS) Guides are paired with women to provide emotional and practical support during this understandibly stressful time.

What Our COMPASS Guides Say

"I gain as much from this program as the women that I am asissting." - Barbara R.

"The support has been mutual, as I find myself looking forward to talking to the women that I am matched with -- they listen to my story more than I expected them to want to hear. We have instant credibility having faced the same diagnosis. There are questions like, 'Did you feel like this?' or 'When did you...?' There is great value in trying to pair people with a guide with similiar clinical and demographic background." - Jett S.

For either of these opportunities, there is an application and training process. Please call (510) 869-8735 for more information.
