Due to the COVID-19, most work will be completed from home until further information are given.
If you have a little free time and are a true "people person," the Red Cross has a great volunteer position for you.
Volunteer blood donor ambassadors ensure that blood donors have a pleasant and fulfilling experience, from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave. During a blood drive, whether you’re greeting donors, answering questions or thanking them for their donation, your courtesy and professionalism will create a favorable impression that encourages ongoing donor support.
You’ll need to meet these important qualifications:
- Communicate in a professional manner with diverse populations
- Demonstrate excellent customer service and comfort working with people
- Manage the reception process by ensuring each donor is warmly greeted and assisted with initial intake according to the appointment priority system
- Manage the hospitality experience by offering refreshments to donors, thanking them for their contribution, and alerting staff immediately if a donor shows signs of feeling unwell
The Red Cross collects and distributes about 40 percent of our nation’s blood supply. When you help create a fulfilling donation experience and encourage visitors to make a long-term commitment to regular donations, you improve our ability to meet this critical need.
Each volunteer shift you take is another opportunity to help save lives.
Requirements
- One 4-6 hour shift per month for six months
- Professional, clear and diplomatic communication skills
- Comfortable approaching people you do not know
