Middle School Education

Upstate New York Transplant Services currently offers two programs to area middle school students:  Donate Life: Talk It Up! and Donate Life: One Pint at a Time. 

The Donate Life: Talk It Up! program provides information about organ, tissue and blood donation to middle and high school students through classroom presentation. The goals of Donate Life: Talk It Up! are to provide students with information about the lifesaving benefits of donation, to motivate students to initiate a family discussion about organ and tissue donation, and to answer questions and counter common misconceptions about donation. Presentations are conducted by trained staff and volunteers, all of whom have a personal connection to donation and transplantation. Components of the presentation include a video featuring area youth and an interactive quiz.

For more information on our Donate Life: Talk It Up! program please contact Danielle Keller, Education Specialist, at (716) 566-3917 or dkeller@unyts.org.
