Support Red Cross Blood Drives! (Wood Village Donation Center)

Are you a friendly, well-organized and enthusiastic person who can represent the Red Cross to our blood donors?

Blood 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, checking them in to their appointment, answering questions, or thanking them for their donation, your courtesy and professionalism will create a favorable impression that encourages ongoing donor support!

You’ll need to meet these important qualifications:

• Manage the reception process by ensuring each donor is warmly greeted and assisted with initial intake according to the appointment priority system
• May manage the hospitality experience by offering refreshments to donors, thanking them for their contribution, and alerting staff immediately if a donor shows signs of feeling unwell
• Communicate in a professional manner with diverse populations
• Demonstrate excellent customer service and comfort working with people
• Ability to follow safety protocols and directions consistently and thoroughly

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.
• Each volunteer shift you take is another opportunity to help save lives.

Time Commitment:

• 1 shift a month (or more if you can!) with the average shift being 5 to 6 hours long. Weekday and weekend shifts available.
