Feeding Matters' Pediatric Feeding Disorder Alliance provides an opportunity for participation in education, research, advocacy, and family support initiatives to advance the system of care for pediatric feeding disorder (PFD). 

We host an Open Call for Alliance leadership and committee placements one to two times a year and also welcome applications throughout the year. While we are not currently making committee placements, we will keep your application for our next applicant selection. Unfortunately, we are often not able to accommodate all interested persons. 

Please consider serving as a Feeding Matters skill-based volunteer and download the PFD Alliance app to stay connected.  We value your interest and appreciate your willingness to serve the pediatric feeding community.
