How You Can Get Involved
We offer a wide range of volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Here are some ways you can make a difference:

Volunteers can assist the clinical team with children or perform various clerical assignments. These volunteer hours all add up, allowing the medical staff to focus on healthcare for children with diabetes. To learn more, contact Regina Reece at the BDC by calling 303-724-6744.
