Gift of Life is a non-profit international stem cell and marrow registry that finds matching donors for patients battling blood cancer, sickle cell, and other genetic disorders. We do this through relationships with colleges and universities and our student internship/ambassadorship program.
Within the program, students are encouraged to partner with other campus organizations, collaborate with administration, and run events to increase their outreach. By getting involved with Gift of Life, they’ll become a change-maker and enhance their leadership, marketing, and communication skills. Nothing is more exciting than when they get that first email that a donor they registered has saved someone’s life!
As a former Gift of Life intern myself, I can confirm that this program is such a life-changing opportunity for students in all majors and programs, and helps students develop those human skills that employers look for. We welcome part-time and full-time students in any academic program.
