The American Kidney Fund’s signature outreach event, Kidney Action Day, is held in cities where rates of kidney disease are higher than the national average. Kidney Action Day is a free, family-friendly event with a serious purpose: helping people understand their risk for kidney disease and how to prevent it. The day includes free health screenings, cooking demonstrations and samplings, fitness demonstrations, and other fun-filled activities.
We are looking for volunteers to help us conduct short, informal interviews with event attendees to gain feedback on our kidney health fact sheets. This is a great hands-on opportunity for those interested in public health, nursing, and related fields. Volunteers will gain hands-on experience and can observe various public health practices in action.
The event will take place on Sunday, September 9 th, 2018 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Volunteers may work half or full days, depending on availability. You will be asked to participate in a 30-minute training webinar before the event so that you feel prepared to assist with the interviews.
This opportunity is ideal for those interested in public health, nursing, and other health disciplines. A health background is not required.
Please visit our website, www.kidneyfund.org/kidney-action-day, to read more about the event. If you have any questions or need more information, feel free to contact me at ufatima@kidneyfund.org or call (301) 984-6632.
