Community Opportunities
In-Person T1d Workshops
During these workshops we provide a communal setting for families to come and get hands on trainings, gather support, and learn helpful tips about things T1d related. Each Education class is lead by a CHOC dietician, guest speaker, PADRE Staff member, or diabetes supply reps.
T1d Family Days
Enjoy many events that provide you and your family with wonderful opportunities to meet new friends who understand and share similar highs and lows. Build a strong sense of community and find meaningful support with others living with Type 1 diabetes.
Latino Classes
Las clases para familias hispanohablantes están disponibles bajo demanda en nuestra página de Clases en Línea. Ofrecemos una clase sobre conteo de carbohidratos y otra sobre conceptos básicos de bombeo de leche, ambas en español.
Teens Night Out
Created for young people aged 13-18, these events offer teens the opportunity to connect with peers from nearby communities in a fun and secure setting. The activities serve as an excellent way for teens with diabetes to meet others facing similar daily challenges and achievements. Additionally, these events promote independence as teens participate in activities such as bowling, roller skating, Ninja Warrior Gyms, escape rooms and more.
Family Events
Designed for kids, teens, and parents, these activities let young people connect with friends nearby in a super fun and safe space. The events are upbeat and meaningful, giving kids the chance to bond with others who understand what it’s like to live with diabetes, sharing both the day-to-day challenges and victories together.
Teen Volunteers
Teen Volunteer Opportunities were established to enable teens within the T1D community, and friends, to contribute their time to the PADRE Foundation. These opportunities help participants earn service hours, build new friendships, and make a positive impact in the community. The program provides a safe and welcoming environment for those who enjoy serving and want to get involved.
