Youth-Led Nonprofit
Who We Are
BreakingTheCycle is a youth-led non-profit organization raising awareness about PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). Our mission is to inform as many young women as possible about PCOS and its life changing effects.
We are based in Chandler, Arizona, but we are always expanding to reach more and more people through our growing network of chapters nationwide.
Our ProgramsThe Issue
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal disorders, affecting an estimated 1 in 10 women of reproductive age worldwide.
Despite its prevalence, it is frequently underdiagnosed and misunderstood — many individuals face delays in diagnosis and limited access to comprehensive care. Increasing awareness can lead to earlier recognition and intervention, while access to reliable resources helps individuals manage symptoms, understand treatment options, and build supportive communities.
From educational outreach to research funding, our work turns awareness into action.
