Youth Advocate Program
Our YAP program grew out of a desire to promote acceptance and empower youth at our yearly TS Family Camp. Since 2011, this program provides youth with the information to effectively spread TS awareness in their community. Each member of YAP will be provided resources and tips on how to spread TS awareness and provide a brief training on Tourette Syndrome to peers and/or organizations in their community.
The training includes a short power point or slideshow to train classmates, a scout troop, a sports team or other peer group to understand the basics about Tourette Syndrome. This program is open to youth with and without
Tourette syndrome who care about awareness of the cause!
If you are a youth between 12-17 years old, and would like to view the training for our Youth Advocate Program, please send an email with your interest to sherrie@patsainc.org
You will then receive a link to the 28 minute online training and next steps in order to join.
Keep your eye on the newsletter and social media to see what our YAP members are doing to support the TS community and spread education and awareness! They volunteer their time and are available for speaking engagements in their local communities. If you would like to schedule one of these amazing young people to speak to your group, please contact info@patsainc.org.
