The OTS Mentor Program provides one-to-one support between people living successfully with an organ transplant and people who are waiting for a transplant or adjusting to a new organ.  Transplant recipients, living donors, and caregivers can all be trained mentors.  Using your experience to give back to someone else is an amazing and rewarding gift. 

In order to be eligible to be matched with a mentee in the OTS Mentor Program, it is important to attend a Mentor Training Workshop. The next Mentor Training Workshop is scheduled for Saturday, November 15, 2025, starting at 9:30AM CST. This workshop will be held on Zoom and it should not last more than 2 hours. If you can attend this workshop please let OTS know, so that we will have an idea of how many people to expect at this meeting. To RSVP, please call or send an email to Carol Olash at these contact numbers:  Email:  Carol@organtransplantsupport.org, Phone:  847-867-8896.

We have a growing need for more mentors who have received a kidney transplant.  If you have received a kidney transplant, please consider becoming a mentor to someone who is new to the organ transplant journey. We need your expertise!
