Are you between the ages of 18 and 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’d like to get involved, please fill out the form below or contact Vanessa Maltin, NFCA’s director of outreach and programming at
vanessa@celiaccentral.org. And check back soon for a calendar of fun-filled events!!
