MIKE Program is still in need of volunteer health mentors for the 2010-2011 school year!

Develop cultural engagement skills and enhance behavioral and social science service skills serving as a caring adult in a group of diverse teenage children engaged in MIKE Program in the Portland Metro (north Portland) area.

MIKE Program--Multicultural Integrated Kidney Education Program-- is a community non-profit organization empowering youth to be ambassadors of health in service to their diverse communities through mentorship, partnership, and the promotion of healthy kidneys. We act as guides to promote healthy behaviors and decrease risky behavior in order to decrease the incidence of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and risky behaviors, with a strong emphasis on promoting social and emotional health, since all factor into kidney failure.

Find out more at an upcoming volunteer orientation on August 13 or 19. Mentor trainings will take place Saturday and Sunday, August 28th and 29th, from 9:00AM - 2:30PM.
