Share stories, ask questions, earn volunteer hours, and hear from our guest speaker, Hailie Huntley! Hailie is a college student living with type 1 diabetes currently working toward her degree in Food and Nutrition. For her degree, Hailie is required to do a presentation and has chosen to focus on youth ages 6-17 impacted by T1D. We are organizing this virtual opportunity for youth ages 6-17 to earn volunteer hours and connect with each other! Please review the important details below and agenda for the event.
