Join the FARA Ambassadors for a hangout for teenagers, 13-19, with ataxia (of any form). FA Teen Hangouts are hour-long web-based hangouts. If you don't have ataxia, you are not allowed to participate in the hangout. This is simply a place to meet and talk to other people who may be going through struggles and good times similar to you. There will also be at least three adult FARA Ambassadors present. The adults will be there to help keep the conversation safe and going. FARA Ambassador Kyle Waterman will lead April's hangout.
The theme will be: "FARA Events" a place to find friends, fun, and community. Have you been to an event, tell us how it went. Thinking about going to an event? Learn what other teens think. Learn how to find an event near you. Join us to talk or just listen. We are sure you'll find you aren't alone! It is just a relaxed conversation...the theme gets us going, but we definitely don't stick to it!
When: Thursday, April 30th, 8-9 PM ET (The hangout opens 15 minutes early to try to work out technical issues. Please remember we are volunteers, not IT professionals! Come early if you've never attended a hangout on Zoom before.)
Who: Teens with ataxia ages 13 to 19 (Please note: all the teens will be together)
Where: On Zoom so if you have access to the internet, speakers, and a camera on your device, you can come!
How: If you are under 18, you need to get your parents or guardian to sign a consent form. This should be emailed to
18 and over: just let us know that you want to come by emailing us at
half-hour before the hangout opens, you will be sent a link to join the hangout on Zoom.
Pop an email to either address if you have questions!
