Campus Ambassador Internship Program

Gift of Life Campus Ambassador Internship Program

Be the Reason Someone Gets a Second Chance at Life

Gift of Life Marrow Registry is a nonprofit focused on helping patients battling blood cancers and other life-threatening diseases find their life-saving stem cell or bone marrow donor match. For many patients, a bone marrow or stem cell transplant is their best chance at survival, but finding genetically compatible match is very difficult. About 70% of patients rely on a complete stranger for that match, which is why growing the registry is so important.

The Gift of Life Campus Ambassador Internship Program is a selective leadership opportunity for passionate, motivated college students who want to make a real impact on their campus and in the world. As a Campus Ambassador, you will serve as the face of Gift of Life at your college- educating peers, organizing donor recruitment events, growing awareness, and inspiring others to take action that could literally save a life.

This is more than just an internship. It’s an opportunity to become part of a mission-driven community dedicated to helping patients battling blood cancer and other diseases find lifesaving donors. Every event you host, every conversation you spark, and every person you inspire to join the registry has the potential to save someone’s life.

We are looking for outgoing, reliable, creative, and mission-driven student leaders who are excited to build community, gain hands-on experience, and be part of something bigger than themselves.

What You’ll Do

• Represent Gift of Life on your campus with professionalism, energy, and enthusiasm
• Support the growth and visibility of the Campus Ambassador Program at your university
• Organize and execute donor recruitment drives, tabling events, presentations, and awareness campaigns
• Conduct outreach to student organizations, clubs, athletic teams, fraternities/sororities, and campus partners
• Help recruit and engage prospective volunteers and ambassadors
• Lead targeted outreach efforts to diversify the donor registry and expand campus partnerships
• Collaborate on marketing and communications initiatives, including social media content and promotional efforts
• Stay in regular communication with your mentor and take initiative in planning and executing activities
• Think creatively, problem-solve, and bring new ideas to engage your campus community
• MOST IMPORTANTLY: Have fun while making a meaningful impact!
