WHY BECOME A VOLUNTEER?

Listen to the reasons why our volunteers decided to become Know Your Lemons© Certified Global Educators.

There are many reasons people volunteer to become a “Lemonista.” Maybe you have experienced breast cancer, or it has had an impact on your family, or you just feel passionate about women’s health. No matter your experience, we provide you with all the tools, training, and resources you will need to lead engaging breast health discussions in your community and empower women with confidence and knowledge for early detection.

What does a Breast Health Educator do?

We create educational tools and training to help our volunteer educators, known as “Lemonistas,” reach people in ways never before possible. We do that with breast cancer awareness materials that overcome taboo, literacy and fear, and are completely inclusive of gender, age, ethnicity and background.

Educate from ANYWHERE.
No health or teaching experience necessary.
We will train you!
