All Peer Mentor Guides are breast cancer survivors and thrivers that volunteer their time to support someone facing a breast cancer diagnosis. They’ve completed a training program developed for Firefly Sisterhood to help them best use their personal breast cancer experience to comfort and guide those they will be mentoring.

There are no automated matches here. Our match specialists are personally involved with every single match, assessing the needs of those seeking support. You will receive an email from a staff member to schedule a phone call to discuss your diagnosis, treatment plan, and your lifestyle beyond breast cancer.

Yes, anything shared with Firefly Sisterhood will never be shared with anyone outside of the matching process.

All of our services are free! We are committed to ensuring that no one faces breast cancer alone.

Once you’ve talked to a match specialist and shared information about your diagnosis and your support needs, we will match you with a Peer Mentor Guide as quickly as possible. In most cases, it’s less than a week.

It’s up to you and your Peer Mentor Guide to determine how frequently you would like to connect. The match may result in a few phone calls, or could continue for months during your treatment. You will also decide together how you would like to keep in touch, whether by phone calls, texts, or perhaps even meeting in person.

Yes, we can match you with Peer Mentor Guides for different support needs. For example, if you are evaluating your surgical options, you might want to talk with someone who has had a lumpectomy and someone who has had a mastectomy.

Our primary goal is to create meaningful one-to-one connections; however, we regularly organize social and educational gatherings to provide support and friendship within our community.
