Circle of Hope Cancer Support Center January 2026 Calendar

“At Circle of Hope, you are not alone.” After more than 20 years of serving the financial, emotional, and educational needs of Santa Clarita’s cancer community, we know how deeply this message matters. The Wellness Center at Circle of Hope provides support that goes beyond what is typically available through traditional healthcare outlets in our valley. Every class, program, and therapy is offered free of charge and thoughtfully designed to support those navigating cancer.
Depending on the program, classes may take place indoors, outdoors, or in local parks. Each listing includes its location details. Safety remains a top priority, and all current health guidelines, including masks and social distancing, are followed to protect our clients, staff, and volunteers.
To sign up for a class you will need to call the office to get the link for SignUpGenius.
