Our Grassroots Leadership Team (GLT) is the heart and soul of JDRF Advocacy. Guiding over 90 volunteer leaders across the country, the GLT plays a critical role in advancing JDRF's advocacy agenda and mission. #NationalVolunteerWeek #Forward

This week we're celebrating all of the incredible JDRF volunteers who help move our shared mission forward. On behalf of all of us at JDRF, thank you.

Happy #NationalVolunteerWeek !
