Volunteer! Changemakers in diabetes communities around the world

When Youth Venturers Nick and Jesse traveled to Ecuador during high school, they we shocked by the devastating effects that diabetes had on small communities. Children and their families lacked access to information about diabetes basics, like insulin management and proper nutrition. So, the pair set their sights on developing a summer camp for diabetes education.

Sixteen years later, AYUDA is recognized as an international leader in the development and delivery of diabetes education, advocacy, and youth empowerment. The organization is changing lives each summer in Ecuador and the Dominican Republic through volunteer-run summer camps for youth and their families.

Do you have a passion for youth and health? Do you speak Spanish, or are looking to improve it? Want to travel to South America? This volunteer opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any age! No diabetes knowledge is required.
