The Youth Ambassador Program was created to develop leaders within the T1D community. As a Youth Ambassador, you’ll inspire others by sharing your T1D story, raise awareness for Breakthrough T1D (Formerly JDRF), educate the broader community about T1D and directly impact Breakthrough T1D’s mission to create a world without T1D.

In addition to education and awareness building activities, Youth Ambassadors have the chance to meet peers with T1D, enhance speaking and storytelling skills, volunteer at chapter and community events, make new friends, and have FUN! During the 2024-2025 Youth Ambassador Program year, we also plan to identify and complete 1-2 projects directed by participants to provide additional opportunities to learn and grow.

We hope you will choose to participate this year – we need your voice, your participation, and your leadership. Please review the digital program application to learn more. Applications are due June 30. Applicants will be notified of their application status in mid-July.

Please reach out to Elizabeth Anderson (eanderson@breakthrought1d.org) with any questions.
