Ambassador Program

OneLegacy fosters a community of hope and healing for Southern California families while educating and advocating for the gift of life.

Ambassadors Program

OneLegacy Ambassadors are volunteer advocates for organ, eye and tissue donation. They are donor families, transplant recipients, living donors, and others who have been touched by donation or transplantation.

Educate

Ambassadors share accurate information, correct misconceptions, and answer questions from the public about organ, eye, and tissue donation.

Inspire

Ambassadors share their compelling personal experiences as donor families, transplant recipients, and living donors with key audiences to underscore the profound human impact of donation.

Register

Ambassadors guide members of the community to register their decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor through the Donate Life California donor registry.

Cities and Communities

Ambassadors facilitate booths and support presentations in the community to educate the public and encourage donor registration. Select Ambassadors conduct outreach to mayors, city councils, and community leaders to engage key figures in events and strategic partnership programs.

Donor Families

Select, specially trained Ambassadors work with OneLegacy’s Donor Family Aftercare department to support families through key donor memorial programs and grief support services.

DMV

Over 95% of California’s registered organ, eye and tissue donors made their decision at the DMV. Ambassadors work with local DMV field office staff to ensure that customers are provided with accurate information about donation.

High Schools

Select Ambassadors conduct presentations to high school students, encouraging students to make an informed decision about becoming a registered organ, eye and tissue donor.

Hospitals

Life-saving donation begins when a potential candidate for organ and tissue donation is properly identified and referred to OneLegacy by medical professionals. Ambassadors accompany clinical presentations from OneLegacy’s Donation Development department, sharing their personal experience to underscore the importance of successful hospital partnership, beginning with the referral phone call.

OneLegacy Special Events & Offices

OneLegacy graciously utilizes the volunteer support of Ambassadors for a variety of large and small events and office projects, supporting the mission of organ, eye and tissue donation.
