"Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're so priceless."

The Diabetes Hope Foundation Volunteer Initiative would like to provide individuals with opportunities for personal achievement. We create an environment where our volunteers make new discoveries about themselves and others, while enabling them to feel they are contributing to their community.

We wish them all the best as they all move on to post-secondary endeavors.
TORONTO, February 6, 2012 - Launched in late 2010, Diabetes Hope Foundation's Scholarship Alumni Mentoring Program has now become one of the Foundation's newest core programs. The program helps incoming scholarship recipients make a successful transition to post-secondary life by providing them with an opportunity to gain relevant knowledge of the post-secondary education world from individuals living with diabetes.
New scholarship recipients from 2012 will be matched with a mentor from the Foundation's scholarship alumni based on similar academic and career interests.
We kicked off 2012 with great success with 44 type 1 teens and 8 youth mentors participating in our new Diabetes Youth Retreat program. Teens from Mississauga, Oakville, Brampton, London and Cambridge received 3 days and 2 nights of experiential diabetes education at Tim Horton's Onondaga Farms in Feb & March 2012.
A special thanks goes out to Bayer HealthCare, Dex4, Eli Lilly, Mackenzie Financial, Medtronic Canada, Northern Diabetes Health Network, Oakville Community Foundation,Optimist Club and the Rotary Club of Brampton for giving our kids a fantastic weekend!
