Join the FARA Ambassadors for a hangout for teenagers with ataxia. 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 two adult FARA Ambassadors present. The adults will be there to help keep the conversation safe and going.

At this hangout, we will discuss next steps after high school. College? Work? Gap year? All the ambassadors there have navigated their next steps after high school, so this is the place to talk about your worries and your hopes. Ask questions and share your perspective: What should I major in? How do I take notes? I am thinking about working or taking a gap year.

When: Thursday, April 28th from 7 to 8 PM ET
