Dear Potential Volunteer,

Due to the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic, we still recommend that you consider volunteering virtually rather than in person. In fact, some in-person volunteer opportunities have been cancelled or scaled back in response to concerns over the virus. If you are considering volunteering for this Need, please be sure and contact the agency directly before signing up to make sure that the opportunity is still scheduled, and follow all of the agency’s and Belmont’s COVID Protocols and the  CDC’s Guidelines to protect yourself and others.

If you choose to volunteer in person, you agree that you understand the associated risks and accept them.

Stay safe and well!

The Gift of Life Campus Ambassador Program (CAP) enlists students like you for an internship to run cheek swab drives on your campus. By reaching out to your friends, clubs and campus organizations you’re involved with, you have the potential to invite many new donors to join the registry – any one of whom could save a life. It’s a pretty sweet gig. Hang out with your friends, make a difference in the world.

As an Ambassador, you will join an elite group of more than 300 leaders on college campuses across the country. Your journey as an ambassador will begin with a symposium in August where you will learn about Gift of Life Marrow Registry and how the actions your take by being a part of the program will save lives.

Once you are on campus, you’ll take your newly acquired knowledge and put it into practice, running donor recruitment events with the goal of educating new donors and offering them the opportunity to join the registry.

You will be encouraged to partner with other campus organizations, administration and events to increase your outreach. By getting involved with Gift of Life you’ll become a change maker and enhance your leadership, marketing, and communication skills. Nothing is more exciting than when you get that first email that a donor you swabbed has saved someone’s life!
