Apply for the 2019 NJCTS 
Tim Howard Leadership Academy!
August 1-4, 2019
Rutgers University
The NJCTS Tim Howard Leadership Academy is an invaluable learning experience for teens with Tourette Syndrome. Over the course of four days, participants attend workshops that provide a deeper understanding of their diagnoses and participate in small group discussions where they share personal triumphs and challenges. 

Participants ALWAYS report that they form lasting connections, gain a better understanding of themselves, and walk away with a toolkit that prepares them for a successful future. If this sounds like something in which you would like to take part, please consider the bullet points below. 

Eligible applicants:

* Have a diagnosis of Tourette Syndrome from a qualified medical practitioner
* Are comfortable being away from home for four consecutive days
* Are able to sit in a workshop setting for up to an hour at a time
* Are entering sophomore, junior, or senior year of high school or have just completed senior year of high school by June 2019
* Have demonstrated interest in leadership
* Can meaningfully participate in an intensive learning experience with others who live with TS
