We are so glad you’re here. Upopolis is your private, secure space to connect with other youth who truly understand what it’s like to navigate healthcare journeys and life challenges.

Finding Your People
Main Upopolis: A space for youth navigating medical diagnoses and conditions.
Upopolis Island: Private, specialized spaces (“islands”) for youth navigating grief, a parent or sibling’s critical illness, or specific research initiatives.
Note: You will only see the specific islands that apply to you
