Who are Outreach Volunteers?
Families and individuals are matched in their time of need with a JDRF Outreach Volunteer who understands what it is like to live with T1D. Outreach Volunteers play the very important lead role in building early relationships with newly diagnosed individuals/families– welcoming, supporting, guiding, and connecting them to the larger T1D community and JDRF. This is accomplished through relationship building activities throughout the first twelve months post-diagnosis, including making introductory phone calls, sending periodic emails, making invitations to attend and meet at chapter events, and identifying opportunities for further engagement as advocates, volunteers, and fundraisers.
