BE A VOLUNTEER! 

Tennessee Donor Services is grateful that we have a group of active volunteers who promote organ and tissue donation through a variety of activities and greatly enhance the effectiveness of our Public Education Department.  

WHO ARE VOLUNTEERS?  Volunteers come from all walks of life, with many different skills and talents, but they have one thing in common--a strong commitment to donation and a desire to help others.  Some are donor family members, some are recipients, others are friends and family members who simply believe strongly in our mission and wish to get involved.

WHAT DO VOLUNTEERS DO?  The many areas of volunteer interest are listed below:

bulletGeneral Clerical (stuffing envelopes, phone calls, etc.)
bulletTV/Radio/Newspaper Interviews (share experience with media)
bulletSpecial Events

bulletHealth Fairs/Displays (distribute information about donation to attendees)
