We’re excited to launch the application for the fourth year of our Youth Ambassador Program. Youth Ambassadors are school aged kids (5-18) who want to use their voice to make a difference in our local communities through educational, volunteer and fundraising efforts of the Breakthrough T1D New Jersey Metro & Rockland County Chapter.

Each year, Youth Ambassadors commit to being present in the local community through attendance at Breakthrough T1D events, by serving within the community and by working to move the mission forward.

We’re looking for Youth Ambassadors who:

• Have type 1 diabetes
• Have a positive outlook on life and diabetes!
• Be between the ages of 5 and 18 years of age (K-12)
• Commit to participating in the program for the 2021 calendar year
• Obtain parental permission in writing to be a part of the YA Program
• Submission of a completed YA Application by November 15, 2020
• Arrange for transportation to and from Breakthrough T1D responsibilities and social activities
• Track and report your attendance at events, volunteer hours and fundraising efforts

Applications are being accepted now through November 15, 2020:

Once we’ve received all of the applications for this year’s program, we will conduct a review and may reach out to you if we have any questions. You’ll be notified by December 1, 2020 if you’ve been selected for the program. Unfortunately, we may not be able to accept all applicants for the positions.

If you have any questions, email Outreach Coordinator Gretchen Van Mater.

We thank our National Youth Ambassador Sponsor, Novo Nordisk, for their support.
