Hi @Ryannnn Ryan. JDRF has a chapter over in Menasha > **[Home](https://www.jdrf.org/wisconsin/)** > > JDRF's Wisconsin (WI) Chapter. Get Type 1 Diabetes community support, resources, information & local event scheduling. Send them a message asking if any of their member’s kids also have diabetes and would be willing to talk. Introduce yourself in this topic too: > [@Looking for T1D Teens](https://forum.breakthrought1d.org/t/looking-for-t1d-teens/71908): > > Hi My name is Kaiya I am 17 and have had T1D for 5 going on 6 years. I am a T1D Mentor and I am looking for people my age to connect with. If you want to find more people close by make an appointment with your school counselor and ask if they know the counselors at surrounding schools and would be willing ask them if they would please give your name to any of their students who have diabetes. If the counsellor doesn’t know people at the other schools, maybe they are new or something, ask if the counselor will talk to the principal about it. Half of my family work in schools, trust me they’d all help you with this if you asked. You may be asked to solve a problem, like getting your parents permission but you can find solutions to anything that will come up. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.breakthrought1d.org/t/tryna-make-friends-with-t1d/73618)._
