Type Zero’s Mentorship Program

  • This February 2024, we’ve launched our pilot program designed to empower mentor and mentee pairs to lead healthy lifestyles while confidently managing everyday life with diabetes. We are currently enrolling teens with type 1 diabetes into the program and will open up accessibility to adults, T2Ds, and others as soon as we can.

    Teens develop goals that make sense for them and participate in fun confidence-boosting monthly activities with their mentors. Each teen will have support from their mentor and their doctor throughout their program!

  • Teens with type 1 diabetes can apply using the link below. No need to have a certain amount of greatness or struggle, just a desire to find success with diabetes. Parents and teens will be notified by email within 48 hours if they’ve been accepted into the program:

  • We are looking for adults 18+ to help the next generation of T1Ds stand tall and proud with diabetes! Mentors must have personal experience managing diabetes and must manage theirs well most of the time. We have specific criteria developed by our in-house licensed dietitian that are used to determine eligibility. Mentors receive credible volunteer hours if desired.
