Reach up, Reach Out, and Reach Back as a MIKE Program Volunteer

Volunteers enrich, expand and extend MIKE Program as well as themselves. We value our volunteers' interests, diversity of ideas, experience and expertise, and we hope you'll consider joining us to bring health and kidney awareness to youth in our community.

We are especially interested in volunteers who have interests or skills in event development, fundraising, video documentation of classroom activities/events or managing youth focus groups.
