HIGH SCHOOL OUTREACH INITIATIVE

Every three days someone in Ontario dies because there is not an organ available. It doesn't have to be this way. One organ and tissue donor can save up to eight lives and enhance the lives of 75 others.
This program runs from September - June annually. All presentations for 2023-2024 will in-person (GTA) or virtual across Ontario. Download the Teacher Letter PRESENTATION BOOKING IS NOW OPEN! |
THE GOAL
To help extend awareness, the University of Toronto Transplant Institute in partnership with the Trillium Gift of Life Network, deliver presentations in and around Greater Toronto Area (GTA) high schools to increase awareness.
ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
Presentations provide secondary school students the unique opportunity to hear from world class healthcare professionals about organ and tissue donation and transplantation.
Presentations are delivered by healthcare professionals from the three top-tier transplant hospitals in Toronto: SickKids, University Health Network, and St. Michael’s Hospital along with a donor family member or a transplant recipient.
Presentations are informative, engaging and flexible; they can be assembly-style or given in more intimate classroom settings. Presentations are between 70 - 90 minutes in length and can also be adapted to varying class sizes with a built in Q&A with the students.
Students will also be provided with organ and tissue donation materials to take home to share with their families.
