Teen Hangout - May 2019

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. There will also be at least three adult
FARA Ambassadors present. The adults will be there to help keep the conversation safe and going.

May's hangout will be led by FARA Ambassador Sam Bridgman and we will be joined by FARA's In-House Council/Advocate Brigid Brennan.

The theme: All the way we advocate: With friends and family, in your community, with your doctor, with politicians. How do you advocate? Tell us and learn what others do. It is just a relaxed conversation...the theme gets us going, but we definitely don't stick to it!

When: Thursday, May 30th, 8-9 PM ET

(The hangout opens 30 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 WebEx before.)

Who: Teens with ataxia ages 13 to 19 (Please note: all the teens will be together, but we plan to host separate hangouts for young and older teens in the future.)

Where: On WebEx so if you have access to the internet, speakers, and a camera on your device, you can come!
