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 Drive Helpers, also known as Donor Ambassadors, are URGENTLY needed in Delaware County!
Ensure that blood donors have a pleasant and fulfilling experience, from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave. The Red Cross collects and distributes about 40% of our nation’s blood supply. When you help create a fulfilling donation experience and encourage blood donors to make a long-term commitment to regular blood donations, you improve your local Red Cross's ability to meet this critical need.
Responsibilities include:
- Welcome and greet donors
- Escort donors to the donation area as needed
- Assist with intake
- Confirm donation appointment
- Have donor sign in using laptop
- Provide donors with information to read/fill out before giving blood
- Make reminder calls and reschedule donor appointment, as directed
- Perform follow up activities
- Serve refreshments and talk to donors after their donation
- Attend to donors in the Hospitality Area, alerting blood drive employees if a donor does not appear to be feeling well or their arm is bleeding
- Make sure donor information remains confidential
Qualifications include:
- Customer service skills
- Friendly disposition
- Punctual and dependable when arriving at assignments
- Ability to clearly read laptop computer screen and type donor names, as needed
- Ability to represent the American Red Cross in the community
Training is provided at no cost. The Red Cross asks that Blood Donor Ambassadors provide 5-6 hours of service a month (this is about the time it takes to volunteer at one blood drive).
If interested you can apply by visiting, www.redcross.org/volunteer, scrolling down the page and clicking on the blue "Apply Now" words. Be sure to have a photo ID handy (driver's license, passport or state issued ID), you will have to upload a picture of it to your application. Just follow the directions from there to complete the application and background check.

Mission Statement
The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.
Description
We're in local communities every day, helping people prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies. When emergencies strike, people need help. A fire leaves a family homeless. A heart attack threatens a life. A tornado flattens homes, schools and businesses. A military family needs to be connected. A young child needs a blood transfusion. They need the Red Cross.
How do we empower so many of our neighbors to respond to emergencies? By mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. We can't turn heartbreak into hope without your help!
