The JDRF Indiana and Kentucky Chapter is excited to announce the 2021 Youth Ambassador Program! This program provides opportunities for Indiana and Kentucky children (ages 6-17) to become more involved with JDRF.

This opportunity allows children to be involved with JDRF throughout the year in several events and programs, including the One Walk, Gala, and TypeOneNation Summit, and more.

The responsibilities of this group include being a representative of JDRF in our community while giving volunteer hours to JDRF. We need your voice, your participation, and your leadership. We will ask Ambassadors to fill out the attached application form for consideration in the program.

We will ask Ambassadors to fill out the attached application form for consideration in the program. We are aiming for a group of ten children to highlight as our 2021 ambassadors.

We encourage all past Walk and Gala Youth Ambassadors to apply and join in this revitalized program for the Indiana and Kentucky chapter! Not only will you be helping JDRF and the type 1 community, and having a fun time while doing so, but being a Youth Ambassador will look fabulous on your college resumes!

Examples of Youth Ambassador Opportunities (Please note, many of these are on hold during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and we’ll seek social distanced volunteer opportunities):

• Office Assistance – writing thank you cards, helping with mailings, poster designing
• Gala – event night greeters, live auction assistance, Fund-A-Cure sign holding, special assistance in creating artwork for auction, photo shoot for gala night signage, auction procurement
