Our Mission

Our mission is to research, raise awareness, and drive funding for rare neurological diseases through local presentations, community fundraisers, and educational media outreach. 

What We Do

Many rare neurological diseases remain critically under-researched, despite their devastating and grave impact. Our goal at YARN (Youth Association for Rare Neurology) is to raise awareness, promote education, and provide research funding for these rare diseases.

  • We engage with our local community by presenting at institutions like schools, hospitals, clinics, libraries, and community centers.

  • Our website serves as an accessible platform where many student-researched articles on various rare neurological diseases can be located.

  • Through fundraisers and donations, we will provide funding for local research centers and labs to help drive scientific progress and bring hope to those affected.
