MIKE Program

Reach up, Reach out, Reach back! MIKE Program youth need YOU!!

• Do you want to make a huge difference to youth, but feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start?
• Or, you know that youth today (or always) can be such a challenge, it’s not something you want to tackle without a support?
• Or‚ are you full of good ideas and diplomatic but direct in your feedback and love the idea of offering your critique without it being seen as criticism?
• Or‚ is it the snacks and fun activities, learning new things and meeting with a dynamite group of like-minded people that captures your interest?

Then if you can spend just four mornings, from August 21-24, 2006, to make a huge impact on youth in the Portland Metro Area, the United States, and around the World, this is a great opportunity.

Kidney disease is a worldwide epidemic with its roots in obesity and associated diabetes and high blood pressure. These problems start early and in order to reverse this tide we have to start early, too. MIKE Program mentors youth to act as ambassadors of change to better health outcomes by applying better health habits and equipping their peers, families, and communities to do the same.

We need motivated individuals to experience the inaugural mentor training for MIKE Program. There is no commitment to be a mentor. We just desire your input to critique the training and inform us about your experience; tell us what you think.

The training takes place at 9340 SW Barnes Rd., Suite 100 B, Portland, OR 97225, directly across Barnes Road from St. Vincent Hospital. Registration, networking and a continental breakfast from 8:30 AM-9:00 AM. Class begins promptly at 9:00 AM and will end at 1:00 PM.
