What It Means to Volunteer

Many of our volunteers have a personal connection with organ, tissue, and eye donation. Others, who we refer to as Donation Champions, strongly support our mission. Volunteer support enables us to better serve donors and their families, strengthen community relations, and continue to provide educational outreach programs to our service area.

There are a variety of projects for Network for Hope volunteers to contribute their time and talent towards. Volunteer opportunities include, but are not limited to:

  • Guest speaking at area schools, service clubs, churches, hospitals, and businesses.
  • Managing education booths at area health fairs and other community outreach events.
  • Office projects, including mailings.
  • Assisting with special events.
  • Media interviews.

Volunteer Training

Network for Hope offers a virtual orientation through its volunteer website. Each volunteer must complete and answer questions about the orientation video to qualify as a volunteer.

Book a School, Community, or Business Presentation

Network for Hope is committed to ensuring that students, families and teachers have diverse, factual resources regarding organ, tissue, and eye donation. We are dedicated to raising awareness and providing education on donation by providing free presentations and resources to schools throughout our donation service area in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and West Virginia.

Teachers, community members, and businesses can request free presentations about donation and transplantation, presented by Network for Hope’s Community Engagement Associates. We also have an extensive library of resources available at no cost to you.

Teachers, please book one of our community educators here: https://bit.ly/BookAnEducator.

For teachers, community members, and businesses looking for more information, please contact Luis Santiago at lsantiago@networkforhope.org.
