Youth Ambassador
Leadership Training Opportunity
Tourette Syndrome Association at the National level is offering
a new program, entitled Youth Ambassador Leadership Training.
The goal of the program is to select a team of one youth/one adult
through an application process, provide the youth/adult team with
training in public speaking, guidance on how to present the program,
the logistics of a presentation, a talk by a leading TSA physician,
and an exciting opportunity to advocate on behalf of TSA in Congressional
offices on the Trip to the Hill. Training will occur at the TSA
2008 National Conference as part of the pre-conference activities
April 2-3.
Please note that the youth applying does NOT have to have Tourette
Syndrome, but he/she must be committed to the program's goals
and want to promote understanding of the disorder. Also note that
the partner adult does not need to be the youth's parent but must
be a responsible adult with the parent's consent.
To be selected to attend the April Training, completed applications
should be submitted to their respective chapter by January 31.
Once applications are reviewed, the chapter will submit its recommendation
to the National Office by February 15. Selected teams will be
notified by February 28, 2008.
The deadline for training is fast approaching.
