Do you know a young adult who wants to get involved with JDRF? There are many opportunities!

The Youth Ambassador (YA) program was created to develop youth leaders within the T1D community.  As a youth ambassador, you’ll inspire others by sharing your T1D story, raise awareness for JDRF, educate the broader community about T1D and directly impact JDRF’s mission to create a world without T1D.  You’ll also meet other peers with T1D, enhance speaking and storytelling skills, volunteer at chapter and community events, make new friends and have FUN! Youth Ambassadors are young people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), between the ages of 5 and 18, who are willing to share their story in order to increase awareness of type 1 diabetes and who are interested in becoming involved with volunteer efforts of the JDRF Wisconsin Chapter.

To apply to be a part of the Youth Ambassador program, click here. Applications must be submitted by January 10, 2024.

The Advocates in Action Council (AAC) is a group of young adults who are business professionals, community leaders, and engaged students. These up-and-comers actively support the advancement of JDRF’s advocacy priority areas, spread awareness of type 1 diabetes within their communities, and inspire youth to use their voices and share their stories with key decision makers. Through their involvement, they drive meaningful progress on our path to cures for T1D.

All young adults ages 18-26 are eligible to apply by November 30, 2023. Click here to apply!
