Campus Ambassador Program

Learn Lifelong Skills. Save Lives in the Process.

1. Receive Training from your mentor

Every Campus Ambassador receives dedicated training that provides all the information and resources needed to make an immediate impact on campus. A designated mentor is assigned to each Campus Ambassador to offer ongoing training and support throughout their journey

2. REQUEST SUPPLIES

Gift of Life provides all the supplies needed. A small box is equipped with everything you need!

3. ORGANIZE YOUR EVENT

Since 1991, Gift of Life Marrow Registry has been organizing donor recruitment events. With tens of thousands of drives? and over half-a-million registered donors under our belt, we stand ready to help you make your drive a success. We want every drive to be personally rewarding to help find lifesaving donors who are urgently needed by those battling blood cancer, sickle cell, inherited immune disorders, and 70 other diseases. Gift of Life will supply all the materials you need for a successful event. Adding new donors to the registry is incredibly rewarding, especially when you receive the notification that someone you swabbed is a match for a patient.

4. RETURN YOUR SWAB KITS

Gift of Life provides return shipping labels making it super easy to return completed kits and supplies.

What is the responsibility of a Campus Ambassador?

A Campus Ambassador (CAP) is responsible for spreading awareness of Gift of Life and the mission of curing blood cancers and disorders through stem cell donation, to encourage people to join the marrow registry.

Are there specific goals and/or requirements to be in the Campus Ambassador Program?

Yes. Each Campus Ambassador has a designated Gift of Life employee that will mentor them throughout their time in the program. This mentorship includes training, support, planning and preparation for events to spread awareness and allow people to join the registry. A semester goal will be established between the mentor and Campus Ambassador, and this is dependent on things such as the campus’s student population, number of CAPs on campus, and the history of activity on campus. The methods in which we spread awareness are presentations and tabling on campus.

What is the time commitment of being a Campus Ambassador?

The more time you commit, the bigger the impact you make, ultimately creating opportunities to save more lives. However, there is an expectation that you be actively engaged with hosting events and spreading awareness on campus. Most of the time needed will be dedicated to organizing events to get people to join the registry. Events can include presentations to clubs, organizations, fraternities and sororities, and even classes, as well as tabling on campus grounds.

Is the Campus Ambassador Program a paid internship?

The Campus Ambassador Program offers incentives. The CAPs have a designated mentor who will share how the incentive program works in detail during the interview process.

What are some of the best ways to be successful as a Campus Ambassador?

First and foremost, have fun! Saving lives is a serious mission, but the joy in doing so deserves to be showcased and positive energy produces positive outcomes. Also, get involved with other things that create a platform to spread awareness for Gift of Life. Remember, you can always invite friends and classmates to join the Campus Ambassador Program and partner together to run drives! We encourage everyone in the program to join forces with like-minded people to make a longstanding impact.
