Outreach Ambassadors (OAs) play a vital role in supporting the community. These volunteers provide the first touchpoint to those new to the disease and those new to Breakthrough T1D. Through emails, phone calls, and meet-ups, they offer first-hand perspectives on life inside the club no one asked to be a part of 💙

🧐 Interested in learning more about this role? Then join us LATER THIS WEEK for our Community Engagement Volunteer Info Session!

Community Engagement Manager Andrea, alongside Outreach Ambassador Chair Sharlee, will be hosting an informational session to discuss opportunities within the OA program and other ways to support Community Engagement efforts throughout our territory.

You might be a good fit for this role if:
🐻 You received a Bag of Hope, Teen Pack, or Adult Pack at your own diagnosis.
✨ You've experienced the magic of Breakthrough T1D events.
🤝 You love making friends and building community.

Registration is required for this virtual event!
