Volunteer Opportunities at Vitalant

Volunteering to donate blood at Vitalant is one important way to join our lifesaving team, but we also offer other volunteer opportunities that make a difference in your community. Volunteer opportunities at Vitalant vary by region, but the impact is the same – your actions save lives by helping patients get the blood they need.

Volunteer opportunities include:

• Blood Drive Volunteer: The Blood Drive Volunteer will help to ensure that blood donors have an exceptional experience in a clean environment from the moment they arrive until the time they leave. Responsibilities include checking in donors, informing them of the donation process, monitor refreshments area, and making sure each donor stays for 15 minutes and enjoys a snack and drink to help replace lost fluids. Most importantly, volunteers make our donors feel appreciated by thanking them for transforming patients’ lives.
• Transportation Volunteer: Some of our locations use volunteer drivers to pick up and deliver blood products throughout a service area for timely distribution. Volunteers may transport to and from mobile blood drives, hospitals, and medical centers.
