Do you know a young person (ages 6-20) living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who is interested in serving as a Youth Ambassador next year? Youth Ambassadors will have year round involvement in providing awareness to our community while giving volunteer hours to Breakthrough T1D to support its mission to decrease the burden of T1D until we achieve a world where Type One becomes Type None.

Want to know what our 2018 Youth Ambassadors think of the program? Hear directly from them:

In 2018, the Youth Ambassadors participated in the Breakthrough T1D One Walks, TypeOneNation Summit, One Dream Gala, and Cheers to Our Heroes events. They also went into local businesses to share their experiences of living with T1D, including Stop & Shop and Marshalls stores, as well as representing Breakthrough T1D at health fairs and other community events.  Youth Ambassadors hosted fundraising efforts at Vineyard Vines, Spin-for-a-Cure and other local fundraising events.

We are already working on plans to make 2019 more impactful, but we need your help!

Complete the Youth Ambassador Application and return it to the office by Friday, November 2, 2018!
