A License to Give was produced specifically for high school students to meet requirements of the NC DPI Healthful Living curriculum goals and objectives.

Fifteen minutes in length, the video dramatizes the need for organ donation and illustrates the need for students to make an informed decision about becoming donors. Real teenagers share their opinions, their fears and their questions about donation.

Highlighting the experiences of young people in four families, the video connects students to the topic of organ and tissue donation in a personal way. Your students will learn from their peers real information to help them make a personal decision about organ and tissue donation.

Included in the teacher’s guide are additional resources for the educator to expand students’ understanding of donation and transplantation. Tests and exercises provided allow for evaluation of student understanding of the curriculum and encourage students to complete the learning process by personalizing the material.

A License to Give consists of a Teacher's Guide and a Student Guide, both are in PDF form, as well as a video. This VHS video can be obtained, free of charge, by contacting Carolina Donor Services. Email them at info@carolinadonorservices.org or call their toll free number, 800-200-2672.
