“Let’s Talk” Volunteer Workshops

Lifeline of Ohio provides “Let’s Talk:” Level 1 Donation, Transplantation and Volunteering training workshops at various times throughout the year, and across the donation service area. These workshops include a detailed discussion about Lifeline of Ohio and organ and tissue donation. We ask that all volunteers attend at least one of these workshops, though it is not required to attend the workshop before you start volunteering.

The “Let’s Talk:” Level 2 Ambassadors in Action training workshop is a more in-depth look at sharing your personal story, working a health fair and delivering an educational program. These workshops are offered at various times throughout the year, as well.

Lifeline of Ohio Volunteer Handbook

During training every volunteer receives a Donate Life Ambassador Handbook with specific information about current statistics, Lifeline of Ohio, and a variety of information about organ, tissue, and eye donation.
