JDRF turns 50 this year, and over these five decades of progress, the organization has been able to fund a tremendous amount of life-changing research because of your support and commitment to our shared mission. It’s not only what we’ve achieved but how we’ve achieved it—through people.
In light of this momentous year, we invite you to join the fight to end type 1 diabetes (T1D) by becoming a part of the phenomenal team of volunteers here at the JDRF Greater Delaware Valley Chapter.
As one of the most impactful volunteer-driven organizations in the world, JDRF depends on volunteer passion to drive our mission—and talent to keep us going.
As a JDRF volunteer, you will:
- Change the future for people with T1D,
- Build valuable skills and experience,
- Grow your professional network,
- Have a unique part in achieving our mission, and
- Make new friends who share your interests!

Our history of volunteerism runs deep
JDRF was started by volunteers committed to creating a world without T1D for their children—and everyone else affected by the disease. Without their vision, it would have been impossible to grow into the organization we are today—or to devote so much time and money to funding T1D research.
We celebrate the power of everyone to make a profound impact with their time and talents. That’s why we ensure our volunteers are best placed, trained, recognized and supported at every level. As a JDRF volunteer, you’ll join a tight-knit—but far-reaching—community that truly cares about finding a cure for everyone affected by this devastating disease. Your service will directly impact our ability to fund T1D research.
