Explore Your Next Chapter With Us!
Ignite is a free, ten-week virtual personal growth program open to cancer survivors, thrivers, and caregivers. Through Ignite, you will explore a variety of themes designed to help you build resilience, navigate uncertainty, and create meaningful change in your life.
The Ignite Experience is a US-based program that is open to people all over the world. In addition, Ignite has been adapted for the Kenyan cultural context and the Kenya Ignite program is led by and for Kenyans.
No matter which version of the program you participate in, the 10-Week Ignite Experience Includes:
-
- Content: Attend weekly facilitated one-hour zoom calls filled with new perspectives and thought-provoking discussions.
- Connections: Build new friendships with a diverse mix of people representing all types and stages of cancer through group calls and 1-1 discussions.
- Personal Growth: Engage in weekly individual activities, including guided readings, journaling prompts, and more.
- Volunteering: Access resources to support you in engaging in an onsite or online volunteer project.
- Support: Connect with AFC leaders during one-on-one calls.
Alumni of the Ignite Experience Get Access To:
- AFC Leaders: Participate in a 6-week foundational leadership and professional development program that focuses on the human aspects of leadership — emotional intelligence, compassionate leadership, resilience, embracing a growth mindset, and I.D.E.A. (inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility). Those who complete the core program also have the opportunity to register for additional training sessions related to advocacy, facilitation, and project leadership.
- AFC Amplify (Peer-Facilitator Training): Apply for a multi-step peer facilitator certification program that blends curriculum and practical experience facilitating Ignite (and/or Mizizi in Africa). If selected to participate in Amplify, you will have the opportunity to strengthen your leadership and facilitation skills, while offering AFC’s programs to a group of your peers.
- Future Travel Opportunities: Open the door to new possibilities. Ignite and the AFC Leaders program are eligibility requirements for anyone interested in applying to one of our immersive cross-cultural volunteer travel experiences like the Kenya Elevate program. Our travel programs are currently limited to Africa.
- The AFC Community: Gain access to a vibrant, ever-growing global community and the opportunity to continue to grow alongside new friends.
We know your story is as unique as you are. We’re excited to give you the tools to redefine your story and proactively create your next chapter, no matter if your cancer experience is in your past or present.
