The Breakthrough T1D Pacific Northwest Youth Ambassador Program is back and we’re looking for passionate kids and teens living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who are ready to make an impact!
Our Youth Ambassadors are passionate leaders who help amplify Breakthrough T1D’s mission through fundraising, volunteering, advocacy, community connection, and stewardship! Whether you’re volunteering at a Walk, hosting your own fundraiser, or writing thank you cards, there are so many ways to make a difference.
Who can apply:
The program is open to youth entering 2nd–12th grade who live with T1D and are excited to get involved. The term runs from September 2025 through June 2026.
What You’ll Gain:
Youth Ambassadors will:
- Build confidence sharing their T1D story
- Connect with other kids and teens living with T1D
- Represent Breakthrough T1D at community events and be leaders in their local T1D communities
- Grow skills in advocacy and public speaking
Ready to Apply?
Applications are open now through Sunday, August 17th, and should be completed by the youth ambassador (with a parent or guardian’s help, if needed). Learn more and apply here: 2025-2026 Youth Ambassador Application.
We can’t wait to welcome the next group of Youth Ambassadors and see all the ways you make an impact this year! Have questions? Reach out to Anna Schuetze at ASchuetze@BreakthroughT1D.org.
