YLC stands for Young Leadership Committee. We meet every 3rd Thursday in the Portland area for happy hour and catching up. The venue changes monthly, please contact Sarah Heath at sheath@jdrf.org for this month’s location

The YLC hosts fundraising, networking and social events in the greater Portland area that attract folks between the ages of 21 – 40 dedicated to finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes. YLC members participate in fundraising for diabetes research and social events in the community. YLC members range from those that are affected by T1D, those who support JDRF, and those community members interested in networking opportunities.

ConnecT1D publishes other organizations’ events as a service to the T1D community. To the best of our knowledge, event details are accurate; however, we aren’t always notified when changes are made and we advise you to check each event’s official site to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information. ConnecT1D provides links to the events and/or organizations sponsoring the events whenever possible.
