Volunteering is a terrific way to contribute your skills, time and energy!

Northwest Kidney Centers sponsors many events every year, including the popular Kidney Health Fest for African American Families. NKC also participates as an exhibitor in community outreach events, including the Diabetes Expo, Latina Health Fair, Pista sa Nayon, Hispanic Seafair, and the Chinatown-International District Summer Festival, among others. These events offer free health screenings and public education about kidney related issues.

To make these events successful, we need hundreds of volunteers!


Event volunteer jobs include: registration, greeting, set-up, take down, talking to the public about kidney disease and more. Occasionally, volunteer opportunities are available in our administrative offices and community dialysis centers.
