Children's Congress brings more than 150 children with type 1 diabetes and their families to Washington, D.C.  Children's Congress participants represent all 50 states and the District of Columbia. They meet with Members of Congress and other key federal decision-makers to help educate them about the critical need for federal funding for type 1 diabetes research.

Applicants must be between the ages of 4 and 17 and have type 1 diabetes. All applications must be received by JDRF by 5pm EDT on Monday, October 4, 2010. You can view a list of frequently asked questions regarding the application process by clicking here.

Children's Congress inspires lawmakers to remember the children who live with type 1 diabetes when appropriating funds for medical research and voting on other important federal issues relating to diabetes. Our children's stories, told in their own words, are more powerful than almost any other type of legislator education.
