Kidney Wellness Hub and Other Volunteer Opportunities
Kidney Peer Mentors Needed
We are looking for a diverse group of kidney patients, caregivers and supporters who would like to volunteer to help others in their kidney community as Kidney Peer Mentors. As a Kidney Peer Mentor, you will receive peer engagement training virtually (approx. 3 hours) for our One-to-One Peer Mentoring program. This program offers one-to-one phone-based support. If interested, mentors can also be trained as facilitators for our Kidney Peer Engagement Groups.
For details on this volunteer opportunity and upcoming training session(s), please contact kidneywellnesshub@kidney.ca or 604-558-6877.
Kidney Wellness Hub Advisory Members Needed
We want to continue building new content and initiatives for the Kidney Wellness Hub that reflect the diversity of our kidney community. We will create several Patient/Caregiver Advisory Committees to support these efforts.
If you are interested in joining an Advisory Committee and/or want more information, please email us at kidneywellnesshub@kidney.ca.
Contribute to Better Kidney Health for All Canadians
Whether you are a kidney patient or caregiver, your voice is important. By joining Kidney Link, you will learn about kidney research in Canada and opportunities to get involved. You will be connected to researchers who want to work with you to help answer questions that will improve kidney health. You will help shape research to respond to patients’ needs and perspectives.
Social Activity Hosts Needed
Do you have a passion or hobby that you would like to share with your Kidney Wellness community? We are looking for members to host social activities/events. Maybe that is virtual painting class, leading a book club, and sharing your travel adventures?
If you have an idea or would like to learn more, email kidneywellnesshub@kidney.ca.
