Community Engagement

Bag of Hope

JDRF is pleased to provide our complimentary Bag of Hope, which contains a variety of educational and reference materials to help newly diagnosed children and their families along the way.

Mentor Program

The Mentor Program can provide much needed emotional support, information about diabetes resources, education about T1D management, research and many more. JDRF's Family Network is free of charge, and we are here to help as long as you need it.  

Local Support Groups & Activities

There are several support groups and activities for T1D community happening throughout Nova Scotia to provide peer support to families and individuals living with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

For more information on any of the community engagement opportunities in Nova Scotia, please contact Tanya at 902.453.1009 or send an email to tpoulton@jdrf.ca.

Fundraising in Your Community

(Third Party Events)

What is a third party event? It is a fundraising event for JDRF, organized independently  by an outside (third) party.

If your company, club, or group is interested in helping raise funds for JDRF, there are many ways to do so. From raffles to barbecues, golf tournaments, bake sales, garage sales, car washes, and golf tournaments, the only limit is your imagination!

If you are interested in hosting an event or would like more information, please contact the JDRF office.
