Each year, Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network and Donate Life Illinois partner with schools throughout Illinois to provide a free classroom program on donation and transplantation. The program aligns with state standards and addresses this critical health issue that perhaps has already affected a student, faculty member or parent in your community.
We invite you to take advantage of this important program to help high school students make an educated decision on registering their decision to be an organ/tissue donor and to help them start this important discussion at home.
We offer a wide variety of tools for the classroom. These tools are on-line resources that you can easily implement. All we need for you is to fill out the High School Request Form and you will be able to access all Teacher Resources.
- A 15-minute video featuring high school age students who have been touched by donation and transplantation.
- ESPN’s “Ray of Hope” 15-minute video about Jason Ray with corresponding classroom questions.
- Donate Life Illinois videos of Illinois residents touched by organ/tissue donation.
- Educational PowerPoint about organ/tissue donation.
- Fact sheet on organ/tissue donation.
- Free giveaways for students (please complete the form 3 weeks in
advance for delivery)
