    Description

    Blood Typist @ the Kickoff to Summer at the Minnesota State Fair

    This is a unique, one-time volunteer opportunity to be part of something memorable. Memorial Blood Centers is bringing blood typing to the Minnesota State Fairgrounds for our Kickoff to Summer event, and we're looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help us make it happen. Every Blood Typing Volunteer receives a free ticket to the event.

    Blood Typing Volunteers perform field testing of ABO blood types via a finger prick blood test, giving attendees a fun, hands-on way to learn their blood type. You'll work alongside an MBC Ambassador to engage the public, answer questions, and share the importance of blood donation — all in a festive, community-centered environment.

    What We're Looking For No prior medical or laboratory experience is required — we'll train you. We're looking for volunteers who are:

    • At least 18 years old
    • Comfortable engaging with members of the public
    • Reliable and ready to represent MBC with enthusiasm

    What You'll Receive

    • Full training before the event
    • A free ticket to Kickoff to Summer at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds
    • The satisfaction of connecting your community to something that saves lives

    Ready to join us? Spots are limited. Apply today and be part of one of MBC's most exciting community events of the year.
