COMMUNITY OUTREACH
DONATION AWARENESS
Raising donor awareness throughout our state is a huge job. Our community team works with volunteers whose lives have been changed by donation and transplantation. Whether they are families and friends whose loved ones have given the ultimate gift of life, transplant recipients, or those who are currently waiting for a life saving or life enhancing transplant, our volunteers offer an up close and personal look at how donation is MAKING LIFE HAPPEN throughout Louisiana.
In addition to working with community organizations and schools, we also partner with healthcare providers throughout the state (including eyebanks, hospitals and transplant centers), the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles, and through national Donate Life initiatives.
COMMUNITY CLASSROOM EDUCATION
We have formal educational programs as well as online resources available for school students and home schoolers, youth groups, qne college students.
COMMUNITY EDUCATION PARTNERSHIPS
We work with teachers, drivers education programs, clergy and OMVs throughout the state to drive donation so that more organs are available for transplant.
HEALTH & WELLNESS
With almost 2,000 individuals in Louisiana waiting on life saving organ transplants, it is important to keep people off the transplant list in the first place by providing healthy living programs and resources, especially in underserved communities where there is a higher risk for diseases such as diabetes and kidney disease that contribute to the need for organ transplants.
Specialized learning modules, teaching resources and programs are available for schools, businesses, and civic organizations.
