Community empowers youth with Type 1 Diabetes to see themselves unbound from their diagnosis.

Youth with Type 1 Diabetes often feel left out, isolated, frustrated, and bound by limitations.

Our mission is to encourage and enable youth with Type 1 Diabetes so that their true identity, value, and potential is unbound from their diagnosis.

Help us build a diverse Type 1 community in and around Portland so that our young people can discover themselves through others.

A connected community.

Our community events are more than a meet-up. We strive to create engaging experiences for everyone, kids, teens, family, and friends. Come curious and leave with a new life-long connection.

Bonded not bound.

We can make this happen, together. You can help develop the Type 1 Unbound community by supporting events financially, contributing your event space, or volunteering.
