We are a passionate group of students, driven by a powerful cause: organ donation advocacy. In 2019, Chirag Ram and Candice Medina decided to challenge the notion that students couldn't make a significant impact on society. Fueled by this belief, they embarked on a mission to prove that youthful determination knows no bounds.
Our Origins
Board members Chirag Ram and Candice Medina
From those early days, we've grown beyond our NYU origins, now encompassing a diverse array of students from universities across the country. Our shared dedication to the cause of organ donation advocacy unites us, transcending geographical boundaries and educational backgrounds. Today, ODAC has grown to span three branches in states across the nation: New York, Tennessee, and Nebraska.

Our vision extends beyond state borders. We are committed to connecting with youth nationwide, engaging in conversations, and dispelling harmful myths about organ donation. We hope to foster understanding, provide accurate information, and create a society where organ donation is seen as the fairest, most equitable system.
