Youth Programs
Visit our interactive educational site Project Lifeline Students who are 17 years old in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee can donate blood. Students who are 16 years old can donate with parental consent. Donors must also weigh at least 110 lbs.

Students and faculty members supply much-needed blood to help save lives in our community, while inspiring a sense of good will and community service among everyone involved. Seniors at participating Project Lifeline high schools are also eligible to apply for the Crystal Green Memorial Scholarship Program.
