The Children’s Diabetes Foundation (CDF) is looking for youths with type 1 diabetes (T1D) between the ages of 6 and 18, who want to educate, volunteer, and socialize! These awesome representatives will be the face of CDF and will need to exude a positive attitude about T1D, while educating and creating awareness for diabetes. Advocates will get together for quarterly social events to promote friendship, support, and fun!
