Volunteers are the backbone of many of the NKFM’s programs and the driving force behind our success. There are a number of ways to volunteer your time and talent including everything from administrative support, to coaching a class, to painting faces at the Kidney Walk! Check out some of our options below. When you’re ready to talk to someone about volunteering, please contact our HR Department at hr@nkfm.org or 800-482-1455.
Prevention Programs

Administrative Support
Throughout the year, the NKFM team is often in need of volunteers to help with some daily business efforts such as answering the phones, stuffing envelopes, organizing office literature, and performing data entry.
Special Events
From Kidney Walks to the Kidney Ball, help our development team pull off our exciting, inspiring, and festive fundraising events, all while having fun.
Peer Mentoring
Peer Mentors are people with kidney disease who offer support to others who know what they're going through by listening, problem solving, empowering and being a source of information.
Advocacy
Communicate with Michigan’s leaders by advocating for their support of the Foundation’s efforts in maintaining state-funded programs to prevent and manage diabetes and kidney disease.
Coalition Building
