Mutual Aid Diabetes (MAD) Volunteer Application

Thank you for your interest in working with Mutual Aid Diabetes! We are a small but dedicated group of diabetics who volunteer our spare time to provide peer support to the most vulnerable among us.

As of 2023, we have had to temporarily scale back our social media, podcast, and other nonessential work for a variety of reasons, including to make sure we could continue our most important supply sharing and peer support. In the meantime, we have been working to improve our internal processes, organization, and training methods, and hope to soon relaunch many of the initiatives that have fallen by the wayside.

We are now onboarding new volunteers with a variety of skills on a rolling basis! If you have any questions about this application, or volunteering with us, please email them to MutualAidDiabetes@gmail.com (email also linked here.)

If you are looking for more information about what our group does and how MAD works, please check out our FAQs, media appearances, and our manifesto.

How did you learn about MAD? *

Why do you want to work with MAD? *

Do you have any mutual aid or community organizing experience? *

The work we do is generally emotionally draining, often depressing, and at times heartbreaking. It's important our volunteers have a realistic idea about their individual time and capacity limits -- to prevent burn out. Do you feel like you have a good understanding of how to maintain adequate boundaries when doing community work like this? *

How many hours per week can you volunteer? *

How would you describe your politics or political ideology?

We help anyone who asks for aid without even inquiring about things like political affiliation, but our group runs using leftist and anarchist ideology/organizing principles, so we might not be the right fit for everyone! You can read our Manifesto here.

In your own words, please describe your thoughts and/or feelings about the phrase "kill the cop inside your head." *
