Educational Materials

Additionally, Gift of Life provides letters for parents and students, a suggested script for teachers, and giveaways to engage students so they are prepared to make this important decision when they apply for their driver's license. Download the letters and scripts below. Volunteers (often organ transplant recipients or donor family members) may be available to share their personal stories and answer common questions about donation. Gift of Life staff may be available for a video chat with students, as well.
