Teen Hangouts - April 2018

Join the FARA Ambassadors for a Google 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 three adult FARA Ambassadors present. The adults will be there to help keep the conversation safe and going.

This month we are beginning to have Teen Hangouts lead by the teens themselves. Kate Walker is our leader this month. The theme this month will be: Comfort Zones; what’s yours? Do you leave your comfort zone and if so how?

When: Thursday, April 26th 8-9PM 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 before.)

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

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

How: If you are under 18, you need to get your parents or guardian to sign a consent form (click HERE). This should be emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots.

A minimum of a half hour before the hangout opens you will be sent a link to join the hangout. Please note: if you have a free Google Plus account it makes it easier for us to invite you and make sure you get the invitation so, we recommend (not require!) getting one.

Please send an email to either address if you have questions.

See you soon!
