Blood Donor Ambassadors Needed!

Are you a friendly, well-organized and enthusiastic person who would like to help at local blood drives? American Red Cross volunteer 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. 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. Shifts are available 7 days/week, as early as 7am going to as late as 7pm. Shifts are about 4 hours each, and flexible. However, the most need is currently during weekdays, Monday-Friday. How can you help? Provide great customer service to donors at local blood centers (Oakland, Pleasanton, Newark, Pleasant Hill, San Jose) or community drives. Greet & register donors and staff the canteen area. Overall making donors feel appreciated. Time commitment: Min. 1 shift (4-6 hours) per month, but preferred commitment 1 shift/week. Able to commit for at least 6 months
