Youth Ambassador Program:
The national Tourette Association of America offers a wonderful program called the Youth Ambassador Program. This program brings together, trains, and supports youth and young adults to advocate for and talk about TS and Tic Disorders in their community, with their elected officials, and before their peers. A new cohort of TAA Ambassadors is welcomed in and trained in Washington, D.C. every March. The training culminates with our annual “trip to the Hill” on Tourette National Advocacy Day where Ambassadors have the opportunity to discuss TS and Tic Disorders with Congress.
