How can I meet other people with albinism?

NOAH’s online albinism community gives you instant access to others with albinism. There are specific online forums for Teens with albinism, Adults with albinism, and People of Color with albinism

The best way to meet others with albinism is to come to a NOAH conference. Every two years, NOAH holds a national conference, where people with albinism, their families, and professionals come together to share information, learn from each other’s life stories, and have fun! You’ll meet other people with albinism, an experience many describe as positively life-changing! You’ll also have a chance to learn about the latest medical discoveries about albinism, learn how you can see better and deal with social problems.
