What Does Volunteering Mean to You?

Celebrating National Volunteer Week: Embracing the Power of Service

With National Volunteer Week around the corner, Donor Alliance is celebrating the incredible impact of its Advocates for Life volunteers. These dedicated advocates are the heart of the mission, inspiring others to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors. Donor Alliance advocate volunteers are the heart and soul of its efforts to inspire people about the importance of registering as organ and tissue donors in Colorado and Wyoming. Let’s take a closer look at what volunteering truly means and celebrate those who give back to their communities.

Defining Volunteering: A Commitment to Service

Volunteering takes many forms, from small everyday gestures to life-changing commitments. Whether helping a coworker or spending hours supporting kids’ education, it all reflects the spirit of service. At its core, volunteering is simply giving of yourself to help others.

Reflecting on our own volunteerism invites us to ask: how do we help others? It might be as powerful as registering as an organ and tissue donor, a choice that impacts communities everywhere. One donor can save up to eight lives and heal up to 75 more, leaving a lasting legacy of compassion.

Advocating for Change: The Power of Volunteerism

Advocacy is a powerful part of volunteering, driving real change. Donor Alliance’s Advocates for Life program brings together people from all walks of life who share a passion for organ, eye, and tissue donation. Volunteers personally impacted by donation share their stories to help connect others to the mission. The Advocates for Life program includes donor families, transplant recipients, waitlist candidates, and supporters of the cause to exemplify the transformative power of collective action.

Each year, Donor Alliance Advocates for Life devote thousands of volunteer hours to champion the mission of saving and healing lives through organ and tissue donation for transplantation. From local events to public speaking, their dedication spreads the message and inspires others to register as organ and tissue donors.
