Youth Ambassadors are individuals between ages 6-17, living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), and are the “face” of JDRF through educational and volunteer efforts.  In addition to the values gained through leadership, the Youth Ambassador Program provides social opportunities to all members promoting friendship, peer support, and good times!

• Attend photo shoot on Saturday, February 14, 2015
• Contribute requested items to Ambassador Auction Baskets (see details below)
• Participate in TBD auction item art project
