LifeSource is the Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) for Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and western WI, offering three core services:  

• Coordination and management of all aspects of the deceased donation process. 

• Ongoing support for donor families at the time of donation, and in the months and years that follow.  

• Educating communities and healthcare partners about their role in the life-saving process of donation. 

Donor Family Members, Transplant Recipients, Living Donors, Caregivers, Healthcare Workers, and anyone who has the desire to share the positive message of donation and inspire others to check the box and register as an organ, eye and tissue donor. 

Benefits to joining the LifeSource Ambassador program include: 

• The opportunity to join a community of individuals who have been touched by donation and transplantation in sharing the inspiring and powerful message of donation.  

• Receiving training to share the message of donation and your personal story in an effective and inspiring way. 

• Opportunities to volunteer at or be part of LifeSource-initiated events and/or the support you need to create your own community event or opportunity.  

• Invites to our ambassador events (summer picnic, awards breakfast, etc.). 

LifeSource does not offer the opportunity to volunteer in a hospital or clinical setting. If you are interested in working directly with patients, please contact a local transplant center for potential opportunities.

Many LifeSource Ambassadors are living donors and/or the recipient of an organ from a living donor. The message is the same – donation saves lives! The goal of the LifeSource Ambassador Program is to inspire more people to check the box and register as a donor on their license or online and your voice can help amplify the message that donors are heroes.
