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.

TORONTO, October 28, 2011 -- Since the program was piloted in October 2010, 71 type 1 teens from 41 cities across Ontario have participated in Diabetes Hope Foundation’s new Diabetes Youth Retreat program. The retreats are held in March and October every year, providing 3 days and 2 nights of outdoor experiential diabetes education for teens ages 15 to 17.
Each retreat weekend is delivered in partnership with one of Diabetes Hope Foundation’s paediatric diabetes healthcare partners. Volunteers from the Hospital for Sick Children, McMaster Children’s Hospital, Markham Stouffville Hospital and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario have participated in the program to help the Foundation move the program from pilots to full programs.

On Saturday, September 10th 2011 Diabetes Hope Foundation reached another milestone as close to 500 walkers joined the Foundation at Etienne Brule Park to raise money in support of programs for children and youth living with diabetes.
This is the walk's 5th year, and to-date the event has raised almost half a million dollars. Money raised from the walk will support the foundation’s Scholarship, Mentoring, and Medical assistance programs, and camps for children and youth with diabetes, programs aimed at high risk youth with diabetes.
Thank you for Helping us Help our Kids!
