Our Mission is to Support, Develop and Empower young people
living with cancer. One of the ways we do this is with our
recreational and educational National Programmes.
National Programmes are generally run over the course of a
weekend at locations around New Zealand. There is no cost for
travel or accommodation to Members or Volunteers who attend
National Programmes.
A REAL workshop is a must for any CanTeener to be Rejuvenated,
feel Empowered, gain Awareness and Let Go. A REAL workshop is a
chance to share experiences with other CanTeeners in a fun and safe
environment.
