So, your event idea has been approved–congratulations! 🎉 To begin executing your event, follow these steps:

Step 1: Connect with your Organ Procurement Organization (OPO)

• If you do not know your OPO, email students@sodanational.org and we'll introduce you.

• Ask your OPO when you can attend their volunteer training. Your OPO’s volunteer training program will prepare you to have productive conversations about donation.

• Once you’re trained as a volunteer, see if your OPO has any volunteer events you can participate in. Your OPO can also connect you with local guest speakers for on-campus events.

​

Step 2: Reach out to your school’s Student Affairs office

• Your school likely has an office dedicated to supporting campus organizations. If you need help identifying who to contact at your school, please email students@sodanational.org.

• Notify the office of your intent to host an event. They will connect you with campus resources and inform you of any specific requirements for hosting an event on campus.

​

Step 3: Host your event

• Check out our In-Person Education Events, In-Person Registration Drives, Virtual Education Events, and Virtual Registration Drives guides for inspiration and more information about how to make your event the best it can be.

​

Step 4: Share your life-saving impact with us

• We want to know how many people you educated about donation and how many people you registered donors during your event. Let us know!
