Ready to join the LifeSource team? We’d love to hear from you!
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to saving lives through organ, eye and tissue donation in the Upper Midwest, serving more than 7 million people who live in communities across Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and western Wisconsin.
We partner with 279 hospitals and 300 driver’s license offices in our service area to facilitate the gifts of organ, eye and tissue donation and encourage people in our communities to register as a donor. Learn more about who we are.

Walking the halls of LifeSource and reading the stories of donors and recipients still stirs intense emotions of how important this process and work is to donor families in search of healing and recipients in pursuit of hope.
Peter Farstad, Chief Administrative Officer
Located on the Mississippi River, just minutes from downtown Minneapolis, our headquarters is a place for our team to connect with one another as we fulfill our life-saving mission. It’s a home for donation and transplantation in our community and a place to honor the gifts of donation and transplantation; you’ll always see the Donate Life flag proudly flying in our Healing Garden.
Diversity, equity and inclusion are integral to the LifeSource mission of extending hope and healing through organ, eye and tissue donation. As an organization, we live in the space between life and death. We value and respect life and believe that all life is a gift.
Since our inception in 1989, we have worked with our regions’ diverse communities to break down barriers to donation. We strive to hire and retain people of diverse backgrounds including racial, ethnic, culture and gender. Bringing a rich diversity of perspectives and experience to our organization at all levels strengthen our organization and our ability to serve our community and fulfill our mission.
This commitment to diversity is integrated into our mission, vision and values and is supported by our Board of Directors, our Leadership Team and at all levels in our organization.

LifeSource is committed to finding qualified individuals that will live out our values in their everyday work. Because of this, we do have a multi-step interview process, that allows candidates to meet with many LifeSource team members.
The typical interview process consists of:
Our Recruiter will be in contact with you during your interview process, and will walk you through the interview steps.
To remain consistent in our application review process, we review applications in the order they are received. Once we have a group of qualified candidates that we are moving forward in the interview process, we stop reviewing applications. If something were to change with our candidate pool, we would go back to start reviewing additional applications in the order they were received.
We recognize some candidates may have more experience preparing for and executing interviews, so we are taking action to ensure our interview process is fair and equitable to all. To help you prepare for your interview, we provide you a guidance document on the style of question we ask during interviews, as well as tips on how to provide complete, detailed answers. We provide this document to all candidates to allow everyone the same opportunity to prepare for their upcoming interview.

COVID has made a huge impact on employment. There are many qualified job seekers who are now on the hunt for new opportunities. Virtual interviewing is the new normal – and it takes just as much preparation and practice as in-person interviews.
Julie Kemink has been LifeSource’s Chief Clinical Officer since 2016. We had the opportunity to sit down with her to learn about her role in saving lives, lessons learned during her time at LifeSource and her philosophy as a leader.
Kidney recipient, donation advocate and LifeSource Board member. Bruce King has helped bring about tremendous change for LifeSource over the last 12 years. We asked him about his work with LifeSource, the past, the future and what he will miss the most as he leaves the LifeSource Board of Directors.
Coming to work every day knowing that I play a part in that is extremely rewarding. I find myself inspired each day through donor stories, my fellow team members, and everyone’s ability to help turn dark times into new beginnings.
