    Description

    RED CROSS OPERATIONS FLEET VOLUNTEER

    Keep our wheels turning and our mission moving. As a Fleet Support Volunteer, you’ll help ensure our vehicles are safe, ready, and reliable—so teams can deliver help where it’s needed most. From inspections to onboarding drivers, your behind-the-scenes support powers every mile of relief and recovery.

    We are seeking volunteers to join our Fleet Team who have experience and are comfortable driving large vehicles such as box trucks and/or moving trucks. Most volunteering will take place at the Red Cross facility at 700 Spring Garden Street in Philadelphia, but may include driving these large vehicles 30-45 minute distances within Philadelphia.

    Volunteers should be available for this role about 8 hours per week, ideally able to commit to volunteering 2 days a week, 4-hours per day. The schedule can be arranged with the supervisor and can include weekdays or weekends.

    Volunteers in this role should ideally have some comfort with typical computer tasks such as email, Microsoft Office, etc.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Keep Vehicles Ready: Help schedule and track maintenance, repairs, and inspections to ensure our fleet stays in top condition.
    • Stay Organized: Ensure vehicle documents like registration and insurance are up-to-date and properly stored.
    • Support Repairs: Coordinate with vendors and local shops to complete timely and cost-effective repairs.
    • Pitch In: Perform light maintenance and help keep vehicles clean and road-ready.
    • Spot Issues Early: Conduct regular inspections and report any repair needs.
    • Help Drivers Succeed: Assist with onboarding new drivers and ensure they understand safety guidelines and fleet procedures.
    • Improve Systems: Share ideas with the Operations team to make fleet management more efficient.
