You can probably volunteer at your local hospital, if it has a dialysis unit.
I am currently volunteering in the hemodialysis unit of my local hospital; I have been since 2008. There, I wheel patients from the bus drop-off to the dialysis pods where I wait for the nurses to hook patients up to their machines. Afterwards, I serve patients ice, water, and warm blankets. I also converse with patients to help the time pass by for them as a single dialysis treatment takes about four hours. Be warned, though: if you do not like blood, you should probably not volunteer in a hemodialysis unit as the patients' blood is visible as it circulates through the machine. However, volunteering in the dialysis unit has been a rewarding experience for me; I am sure it will be for you too!

What are two types of dialysis?
There are two methods of dialysis in use: hemodialysis (blood dialysis) and peritoneal dialysis (dialysis in the abdominal cavity). In hemodialysis, the dialysis membrane is made up of cellophane or other synthetic material that assists in the removal of impurities from the blood by their passage through these semipermeable membranes in a fluid bath. In peritoneal dialysis, the surface area of the peritoneum acts as the membrane. Dialysis fluid is introduced into the peritoneal cavity and then periodically removed along with the waste products. This procedure may be done at intervals throughout the day or during the night.
