Develop skills in administration, social media, or youth at Red Cross Upper Lake County

Save to Favorites

It takes a whole host of volunteers to put our mission into action. Without people screening new volunteers, monitoring training, and engaging our volunteers, there wouldn’t be a trained responder to assist when disaster strikes. Volunteering a few hours a week in one of these roles, is sure to help you develop various administrative, social media, youth skills and more! Some roles open to youth volunteers.

Volunteer Screeners
Screening Team members use a list of questions to seek to understand what brought prospective volunteers to the Red Cross, their areas of interest and what position they would find most meaningful. Screeners use their understanding of the volunteer and match it with the needs of the organization, connecting volunteers with positions for which they are both interested and well-suited.
