The Breakthrough T1D Tampa Bay Chapter is accepting applications for our Youth Ambassador Program.  We are currently seeking local type one diabetic (T1D) children between the ages of 8 and 18 years old who are interested in representing Breakthrough T1D Tampa Bay at chapter events throughout the year such as One Walk, TypeOneNation Summit, Gala, National Diabetes Awareness Month events, etc.  This is a wonderful opportunity to represent all children living with T1D while helping raise awareness and education within the local  community!  We are currently seeking 15 Youth Ambassadors who can make a year-long commitment to the program.

We rely on our Youth Ambassadors to be the face of our chapter and steward our donors. We ask our Youth Ambassadors to commit to participating in either the Breakthrough T1D TypeOneNation Summit or the Breakthrough T1D One Walk, in addition to at least one other event/activity throughout the term.  In addition, all Youth Ambassadors must be available to participate in projects dedicated to thanking our donors and supporters.  Parents of the Youth Ambassador must give permission for their child to become a Youth Ambassador and must be willing to support their child in this program and provide transportation to and from Youth Ambassador events and activities and assist them in fulfilling their duties as needed.

If your child is interested in applying to become a Breakthrough T1D Tampa Bay Youth Ambassador, please click the link below to download the application packet that includes all of the details on what is required from our Youth Ambassadors.  At the end of the application period, we will schedule an in-person meeting in February with all interested applicants to discuss the program further and answer questions.
