Our Lives, Our Voices: Empowering the Youth for Food-Allergy Advocacy

The main ingredients of community advocacy are dedication, commitment, perseverance, and most of all, courage. Whether it be within your school or the national stage, you have the potential to shift the conversation and make substantive change. In this webinar, Sarah Ackerman (25), Alexa Jordan (20), and Lizzy Anderlik (16) will show teens and kids that are passionate about food allergy awareness ways in which every single person can become an advocate. These young women will provide both the tools and tips to utilize social media, start blogs, contact Congressional representatives, work with companies, and reach out to local community stakeholders. Presenters: Sarah Ackerman, Alexa Jordan, Lizzy Anderlik
