Every day American Red Cross Blood Services volunteers help support our lifesaving mission in many valuable ways, whether or not you are a regular blood donor! Read about the following opportunities in the Southern California Region that offer a flexible and rewarding volunteer experience that fits your talents and your schedule.
Get behind the wheel and deliver life-saving blood to area hospitals. Safe, responsible motorists with strong customer service skills are needed to help ensure that patients can continue their fight against life-threatening illnesses. Local round-trip delivery routes operate daily throughout our region.
As the face of Red Cross blood drives, you'll welcome and check-in donors, ensure they read pre-donation materials, offer promotional items when available, and ensure that everyone has a positive experience in a clean environment – and grab a cookie and a drink before they depart.
Use your time and talent to save lives. California regulations require that any time blood is drawn under a license it must be under the supervision of a physician. When a physician isn’t available, a volunteer RN with current license, trained on Red Cross procedures is needed to act in this capacity.
