Who are Donate Life Ambassadors?
Donate Life Ambassadors have personal experiences with organ, eye and tissue donation or truly believe in our mission—we invite you to read their stories.
Volunteers will be expected to:
- Perform in cooperation with Lifeline of Ohio’s staff and comply with the organization’s guidelines.
- Act as representatives of the organization and serve as a positive ambassador for organ, eye and tissue donation.
- Attend a Donation 101 education session and Ambassador Training for in-depth learning at the earliest opportunity.
- Maintain confidentiality and respect the privacy of whom they come in contact.
