Volunteer: Call for Volunteers: 2026 Michigan Donation Advocacy Day -Lansing

Date:  April 22, 2026

Location: Michigan State Capitol, Lansing 

Time Commitment: Full day (morning through afternoon) 

Join fellow members of the donation community as we visit Michigan legislators to educate them about organ, eye and tissue donation and advocate for policy that will grow the Donor Registry and save more lives. 

This year’s top legislative priority is the High School Organ Donation Education Bill (HB5338 / SB206) — legislation that would encourage Michigan public schools to provide education about organ, eye and tissue donation and the Michigan Organ Donor Registry to all 9th grade students. This bill has bipartisan support and is critical to increasing teen registration rates and ensuring young people can make informed decisions about donation. 

 What to Expect on Advocacy Day 

Hospitality and brief kick-off program Day of training and overview of volunteer rolesHouse meetings in the morning  Lunch break  Senate meetings in the afternoon 

No prior advocacy experience is required — training and materials will be provided.  

If you have a personal connection to donation, we encourage you to share it. Your participation helps ensure lawmakers understand the importance of donation and the urgent need to expand education and registry growth across Michigan.

There will be a pre- advocacy day optional and virtual training

The date has yet to be determined.

Please continue to check back for those details. 

If you register to participate, you will be receiving updated communications about this day and the pre training.

At this point we are gauging interest. The team will look at actual sign up space for districts that need signups.
