Peer mentors are volunteers familiar with the difficulties associated with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and are open to sharing their own experiences with PKD to support and encourage others.
If you have personal experience with PKD as a patient, caretaker, or parent and want to make a difference, you can learn more about being a Peer Mentor below.
If you have questions, please email Senior Director of Community Engagement Nicole Harr at nicoleh@pkdcure.org.
