Get Involved
If you’ve got the time and the appetite to help out, fill out our short form and tell us how. We’d love to have the extra hands on deck.
Be a Kyler Volunteer
We’re doing a little bit of everything - everywhere, from participating in Cincinnati Children's Hospital’s annual event at the Cincinnati Zoo, to taking families to Friends for Life in Orlando each summer, to hosting a number of in-person events like our annual cookouts in New York and New Orleans (and expanding soon to a location near you!) as well as super hip hangs with our community at spots like Ace Hotel in Brooklyn.

Volunteer to be a Kyler Care Concierge
As a volunteer concierge, you will answer calls and help guide the people in our T1D community towards the resources and support available to them. Whether it’s helping someone find a new endocrinologist, secure diabetes technology, or just talk through a new diagnosis, our Care Concierges step in with empathy, lived experience, and real connections and solutions for individuals and families managing life with Type 1 Diabetes.
Each volunteer is trained to:
- Act as a personalized support contact
- Connect individuals to local and national resources
- Offer emotional and logistical guidance
- Reinforce care plans through culturally competent peer support
Volunteers typically give 4–8 hours per week and ideally have a personal connection to T1D, a strong sense of empathy, and solid communication skills.
