Your time can help save the life of someone who needs blood. Volunteer as a Blood Donor Ambassador to help welcome blood donors to Red Cross blood drives and ensure they have a rewarding experience while giving the gift of life.
Are you a friendly, well-organized, and enthusiastic person who can represent the Red Cross to our blood donors?
Volunteer blood donor ambassadors ensure 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 positive experience that encourages ongoing donor support and ensures that lifesaving blood is provided for those who need it.
You’ll need to meet these important qualifications:
- Communicate in a professional manner with diverse populations
- Read, write, hear, and speak English in a legible and understandable manner
- 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
- Exhibit five key courtesies: respect, compassion, communication, collaboration, competence
Why Is This Position so Important?
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
- Ability to follow safety protocols and directions consistently and thoroughly
