Navigate to Life

Navigate to Life pairs Black and brown men with trained navigators who help them schedule, attend, and follow up on the cancer screenings that catch disease early enough to treat. Our navigators speak the language, understand the hesitation, and stay with each man through the full process.

Black men in the United States die from prostate cancer at more than twice the rate of white men. Colorectal cancer outcomes follow the same pattern. For Black trans men, the picture is more complicated still. Trans men who have not had top surgery remain at risk for breast cancer. Trans men who still have a cervix remain at risk for cervical cancer. And too often, the screenings they need are buried inside programs that were never built with them in mind, leaving them to navigate a system that misgenders them at every step or ignores them entirely.

The reasons we lose people to cancer are not biology. They are access, trust, follow through, and a healthcare system that was not built for us. Navigate to Life closes that gap.

What We Provide: Cancer screening education that respects the men we serve, with screening guidance tailored to each person's body. Scheduling support for prostate, colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer screenings as needed. Transportation to and from appointments. Continued navigation support after a diagnosis or abnormal result, so no one walks the next steps alone. Connection to affirming providers who will not misgender, lecture, or refuse care. Family and partner support throughout the process.
