    Description

    American Red Cross Roanoke-One Shift. Big Impact. Become a Blood Donor Ambassador!

    Looking for volunteer hours? Want a meaningful role with plenty of quiet moments to study or do homework?

    This is the perfect opportunity for students who want to make a real difference and manage their workload at the same time!

    As a Blood Donor Ambassador, you’ll be the friendly face that welcomes donors, makes them feel appreciated, and helps ensure they have a safe and positive donation experience. You’ll greet donors with enthusiasm, offer refreshments after their donation, keep an eye out for anyone who may need support, and—most importantly—thank them sincerely for giving the gift of life.

    Why You’ll Love This Role

    • Great for students—bring homework or study materials for slower periods
    • Flexible: only one shift per month required
    • Make a direct impact by supporting lifesaving blood donations
    • Build customer service, communication, and leadership skills

    All volunteer candidates will complete a screening process before being referred to Biomedical Services.
