Blau Ambassador Program
Are you interested in making a difference in the rare disease community?
The Blau Ambassador Program is a unique service-learning opportunity for high school and university students who want to raise awareness, educate others, advocate, or fundraise for Blau Syndrome.
This program allows you to set a personal goal and complete a project that contributes to the Blau Syndrome community. Whether you’re interested in social media, public speaking, fundraising, or creating educational materials, this is your chance to make an impact!
Priority consideration will be given to individuals with Blau Syndrome, but all students are welcome to apply. The Foundation will provide documentation of your participation in the Ambassador Program that can be used for school requirements, college applications and scholarship applications.
