Breakthrough T1D 2027 Children’s Congress, our 14th biennial event held for youth ages 4 – 17
living with type 1 diabetes, will take place in Washington, D.C. June 28 – July 1, 2027. More than
160 youth from across the country and around the world will have the unique and empowering
opportunity to meet with Members of Congress and other Federal decision-makers to shine a light
on the day-to-day experiences of life with T1D and advance our key issues.

Children’s Congress? In addition to making an impact on Capitol Hill, you’ll build lifelong friendships
with other youth with T1D, meet inspiring T1D Role Models, develop leadership skills, and learn
how to take your advocacy work to the next level!
