Community Outreach Volunteers staff information tables at local events sponsored by hospitals, corporations, civic organizations, houses of worship, schools and universities, medical facilities and government entities. At the information tables volunteers have the opportunity to speak one on one about organ and tissue donation and transplantation. They dispel myths and misconceptions and provide the facts so the public can make an informed decision about organ donation. They provide information about becoming a donor through the state's Motor Vehicle Commission and share personal experiences of how donation and transplantation has affected their lives.

The Community Outreach Volunteer may also join the NJ Sharing Network’s Speakers Bureau. NJ Sharing Network receives many requests for volunteers to speak to both small and large audiences about whom and what NJ Sharing Network is, the facts on organ donation and their personal experiences. They also identify and initiate future venues to present organ and tissue donation awareness programs. Training is provided for those interested in the Speaker’s Bureau.
