Below are a few helpful ways to recruit support group volunteers!

• Person-to-person contact. 
• Have support group members invite family members, friends and other individuals affected with kidney disease to upcoming support group meetings. 
• Utilize a "telephone tree," in which regular attendees are each asked to contact a certain amount of people in advance of a meeting to offer a personal invitation. 
• Distribute educational material to units, doctors and nephrology offices. 
• Appoint "captains" to dialysis units or local doctor offices to publicize your support group. 
• Publicize your support group activities on the AAKP Web site and other forms of media, such as a local newspaper.
