    A call for volunteers

The Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter is in need of volunteers!

As one of the most impactful volunteer-driven organizations in the world, Breakthrough T1D depends on volunteer passion to drive our mission- and talent to keep us going.

How can you help?

When it comes to volunteering, the options really are endless. Check out the list below for some ideas on how you could our chapter! Think about your personal goals, interests and strengths- and don’t be afraid to get creative and come up with your own unique ways to contribute.

  • Volunteer at the chapter office

From office support to event planning, your talents can make a huge difference at our office

  • Work an event

Whether you register guests at a gala, pass out t-shirts at Breakthrough T1D One Walk® or set up a silent auction, you’ll meet great people and play a part in our mission.

  • Donate your leadership

By serving on a Breakthrough T1D committee—whether it’s auction procurement, sponsorship, logistics or planning—you’ll partner with Breakthrough T1D employees to facilitate events that raise millions for T1D research.

Our history of volunteerism runs deep

Breakthrough T1D was started by volunteers committed to creating a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D) for their children—and everyone else affected by the disease. Without their vision, it would have been impossible to grow into the organization we are today—or to devote so much time and money to funding T1D research. We celebrate the power of everyone to make a profound impact with their time and talents. That’s why we ensure our volunteers are best placed, trained, recognized and supported at every level. As a Breakthrough T1D volunteer, you’ll join a tight-knit—but far-reaching—community that truly cares about finding a cure for everyone affected by this devastating disease. Your service will directly impact our ability to fund T1D research.
