Be a Special Events Intern with the American Transplant Foundation!

"The leadership cares a lot about personal and professional development, and allows you to work on initiatives and projects that are specific to the skills you would like to attain. As an MBA student, I was most intrigued by the financial aspects of running a non-profit business and how funding is generated for events and programs, like the Patient Assistance Program. Working primarily on the Team Transplant initiative and helping with event budgeting gave me a much deeper understanding than I expected." -Jenna Horowski

Why volunteer as a Special Events Intern?

• Your leadership will literally save lives!

• We make you feel like part of a team! We are a community of transplant patients, donor families, living donors, health professionals, and committed community members. Meeting amazing people at events is one of the top perks!

• You will increase awareness for the critical need for organ donation in Colorado while raising funds for the most vulnerable transplant patients and their families.

• American Transplant Foundation is growing rapidly, in part due to growing interest nationwide for supporting living organ donation. As a part of this growth, you have the opportunity to engage the local and national transplant community through our many events!
