What is the Leadership Retreat?

Every year young adults ages 16-22 join us for a weekend experience that includes building friendships, fun and interactive activities, guest speakers, and open discussions. This is a valuable weekend that helps any young adult managing type 1 diabetes make meaningful connections to help them cope with the struggles of T1D. They will meet adult type 1's who share their expertise in a variety of subject areas and learn how type 1 has impacted their life. They will learn valuable life lessons from these mentors and each other that will last a lifetime. Leadership Retreat is a great time to get away from the stress of school, activities, friends, and family. They simply have a blast together all while learning valuable leadership skills!
