BUFFALO, NY (WIVB) — Roswell Park is encouraging middle and high school students to participate in their street team program called YRoswell.
Students will be part of a program aimed at younger generations of children who are trying to get involved in the community. You will also learn a little more about medical backgrounds. The program also provides support for younger generations of cancer patients.
These students share the goal of a cancer-free world by spreading awareness, hosting fundraisers, and helping out at various Roswell Park events throughout the year.

Jamie Schuh was once part of this program and is now a Roswell Park Oncology Clinical Nurse Educator. She credits YRoswell with guiding her in her career.
“When my family members both had health issues, I kind of knew I wanted to get more into the nursing field,” Schuh said. “And this opportunity came when I was in high school, so I jumped at it and I loved the way it worked with the community, but also this connection back to educating younger people but also our community about prevention strategies and screening. “
The participating students meet once a month. They have the opportunity to fundraise and go to the community for educational events. Roswell Park is accepting applications through Friday, January 20th. Click or tap here to apply.
