Community Activities

Fostering a sense of community and belonging is a key tenet of JDRF’s commitment to improving the lives of people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D) today, while we diligently work towards cures. We are partnering with dedicated volunteer committees to organize local community activities for both adults and families affected by T1D. The type of activities will vary with each community, as they are hosted and run by these amazing volunteer groups. Please choose a province below to find community activities near you!
