The NW Kidney Kid’s Young Ambassador (YA) Program focuses on advocacy from individuals with lived experience. This program recruits young adults who have aged out of the camps program and want to return to serve, educate, and create a community for the next generation. The Young Ambassadors' voices are powerful both within NW Kidney Kids and in their community as volunteers who have lived through similar experiences. As representatives of the people served by NW Kidney Kids, they will help shape our future through their participation in various projects.

Suzanne Billings was a pediatric social worker who dedicated much of her professional life to working with families of children with kidney disease. She was integral in the development of NW Kidney Kids and served as President of the Board from 2013 until she died in 2017. Suzanne radiated joy and pride in her kidney kids' accomplishments; she was a true champion for her families and is beloved and missed by all whose lives she enriched over the years. In honor of Suzanne's life work, a scholarship has been established to promote independence and self-empowerment. The purpose of this scholarship is to assist in the development of skills and knowledge to facilitate life-long self-sufficiency for a "kidney kid". These funds can be used to support the higher education or technical training of a young adult with kidney disease.

Suzanne Billings era una trabajadora social pediátrica que dedicó gran parte de su vida profesional a trabajar con familias de niños con enfermedad renal. Ella fue parte integral del desarrollo de NW Kidney Kids y se desempeñó como presidenta de la junta directiva desde 2013 hasta su muerte en 2017. Suzanne irradiaba alegría y orgullo por los logros de sus hijos renales; ella fue una verdadera defensora de las familias y es querida y extrañada por todos aquellos cuyas vidas enriqueció a lo largo de los años. En honor al trabajo de toda la vida de Suzanne, se ha establecido una beca para promover la independencia y el autoempoderamiento. El propósito de esta beca es ayudar en el desarrollo de habilidades y conocimientos para facilitar la autosuficiencia de por vida de un "niño renal". Estos fondos se pueden utilizar para apoyar la educación superior o la capacitación técnica de un adulto joven con enfermedad renal.
