Prevention Programs

Help someone else by having a positive impact on their health and life. Program volunteering includes coaching, instruction, and more.

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

Assist the NKFM in it’s efforts to connect with other coalitions, communities, block clubs, neighborhood and faith based groups that could become a future potential partner.
