DONATE LIFE AMBASSADOR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
An important part of KODA’s mission is to actively educate the citizens of
the KODA service area about donation and to encourage individuals to join
the Donor Registry. KODA relies on the enthusiastic response from transplant
recipients, donor family members, living donors and those on the waiting list to
help with all of the requests that come from around the KODA service area.
KODA offers training throughout the year to those interested in learning the
facts about donation and transplantation, which is needed when staffing an
information booth or a Registry and Quilt Table. Trained volunteers are able
to not only accurately answer questions, but also share their personal story in
many instances. KODA introduced the “Donate Life Ambassador” program in 2010,
which provides training in a formal 2 hour setting. Participants who complete
the training receive a Donate Life Ambassador training manual and lapel pin, and
are continuously updated on new data and statistics. Monthly meetings are held
throughout the service area.
If you are a recipient, a donor family member, a living donor, awaiting a transplant, or
someone interested in saving lives, KODA encourages you to become a
DONATE LIFE AMBASSADOR! Please contact the KODA Education Department
to find out more info about the next volunteers training or about a Second Chance
chapter near you!
The Second Chance @ Life volunteer organization in Louisville has received approval
for a new “Donate Life” specialty plate. They must collect 900 applications in order for
the state to produce the plate. Click on the license plate to download an application.
