TSA’s Youth Ambassador Program trains kids and teens to talk about TS. The program gives young people with TS, their siblings, friends and classmates the preparation they need to speak about TS before their peers at school, sports leagues, scout troops, camps and after school programs.

Jennifer Zwilling, now 16, the program co-founder says, “The goal of this exciting program is to educate children all over the country about TS, a widely misunderstood disorder. We are following the motto ‘think globally, act locally’.” Jennifer developed the program with her sister Amanda and with help from her brother Eric.
Understanding and tolerance are the program's goals.
