VOLUNTEER CENTER
By Michelle Ruddy
NFCA Volunteer & Awareness Coordinator

As you all know there are several ways, for individuals to get involved with the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness. If you are interested in planning events and spreading awareness, perhaps you’d like to participate with one of our signature events, The Gluten-Free Cooking Spree. This fierce competition pairs top chefs with top doctors who compete to create the best gluten-free meal.

Perhaps, you enjoy researching and reading about new and exciting breakthroughs regarding Celiac Disease and Celiac Awareness.  In that case, you’d be an asset to our monthly newsletter.  We’d love for more volunteers to contribute to the newsletter.  This allows for various topics to be addressed and different perspectives to be voiced. So, if you are a greater writer or simply enjoy writing, please contact our editor Vanessa Maltin at Vanessa@celiaccentral.org.

Are you between the ages of 18-30 and interested in helping to raise celiac disease awareness among your peers? The Young Advocates for Awareness (YAFA) is a sub-group of the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) and is working to help diagnose the three million Americans with celiac disease who remain undiagnosed and suffer needlessly. Through outreach to university health centers, sporting and social events, we hope to educate the public and medical communities about celiac disease and encourage routine testing for the condition.

If you are interested in educating, both public health and medical students about celiac disease, perhaps you’d like to partake in our Public Health Education & Awareness Program.  NFCA is going nationwide to create a program that will enhance public health practitioners and medical students’ knowledge of celiac disease; therefore, increase the number of individuals diagnosed. 

If you are interested in any of these programs or have any new ideas, please feel free to contact NFCA at volunteer@celiaccentral.org.
