As a volunteer for LifeSource, we are committed to helping you share your unique talents, skills and experiences to increase public support for the generous gifts of organ and tissue donation. Your dedication to this mission is incredible and we are grateful for the gift of your time.
There are many ways in which you can give back to your community in your role as LifeSource volunteer. In addition to opportunities we may contact you about, we encourage you to seek out your own opportunities to share your story and information about donation and transplantation. We ask that you be in touch with our community advocacy coordinator, Jeff Richert, when planning presentations or outreach activities for any assistance or materials.
