Come help us save lives - Join our team as we grow the registry with potential life-saving donors!

Be part of our mission-focused volunteer program at NMDP. We are looking for individuals in San Diego County, California to support our lifesaving mission.

Sign up below to express your interest in volunteering at one of our in-person recruitment events and help give blood cancer & disease patients a second chance at life!

For the thousands of people diagnosed every year with life-threatening blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, a cure exists. Over the past 30 years, NMDP has managed the most diverse marrow registry in the world. We work every day to save lives through transplants.

NMDP works to educate people about the need for stem cell donors and help them join the NMDP Registry. Adding more members who increase the ethnic diversity of the registry increases the variety of tissue types available, helping more patients find the match they need.

Once you sign up, you will be contacted by an NMDP team member with next steps on how to get involved in your community.

About NMDP

Location:

500 N 5th St., MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55401, US

Mission Statement

We save lives through cell therapy. At NMDP (formerly known as Be The Match), we believe each of us holds the key to curing blood cancers and disorders. As a global nonprofit leader in cell therapy, NMDP creates essential connections between researchers and supporters to inspire action and accelerate innovation to find life-saving cures. With the help of blood stem cell donors from the world’s most diverse registry and our extensive network of transplant partners, physicians and caregivers, we’re expanding access to treatment so that every patient can receive their life-saving cell therapy.

Description

For patients with blood cancers like Leukemia and Lymphoma, and other life-threatening diseases, a cure exists. We are the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on saving lives through marrow and umbilical cord blood transplantation

When you volunteer with NMDP, you are helping blood cancer and blood disease patients get their cure - a blood stem cell transplant from a matching donor. As a volunteer, you can truly impact the lives of patients and their families. Last year, volunteers gave nearly 125,000 hours of their time. This commitment is vital to the life-saving work at NMDP. By working together, we create a chain reaction of good and positivity in our communities and cultures. Every volunteer opportunity at NMDP helps make a difference.
