More than 60 teens and young adults with food allergy across Canada make up our Youth Advisory Panel. We count on their help to guide our decisions on services for youth and to also mentor those younger than them.
They are active with media opportunities, and as mentors in our Allergy Pals/Allergy Allies mentorship program.
Our youth advisory panel member help in the following ways:
- Develop, promote, and deliver special projects and programs to educate and raise awareness among youth with allergies and their peers.
- Exhibit at conferences with Food Allergy Canada to promote allergy awareness, as well youth resources.
- Participate in media interviews, surveys, and focus groups to share their perspectives as youth with allergies.
- Fundraise for Food Allergy Canada.
