Blood Assurance welcomes our student donors! We have great programs for students who want to be socially engaged, and a grant program for schools looking to help save lives and give back to their schools.
Under 18 donors
16 and 17 year old donors are able to donate, but 16 year old donors require a consent form signed by a parent or legal guardian. 17 year old donors do not need a parental consent unless in North Carolina. Click below for a copy of this consent.
