What would I do?

Volunteers help us in so many ways: monitoring donors after their donation, helping at blood drives and special events or assisting with special projects.

What Experience Do I Need

We are looking for those who enjoy people, possess an outgoing personality, are responsible, and can be flexible.

What is the time commitment?

We ask volunteers to commit to a minimum of three months.

Is there a Background Screening?

Certain volunteer assignments may require background screening based on the nature of the assignment, access to CCBC facilities or information, or applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

If background screening is required for the volunteer assignment for which you are being considered, CCBC will notify you separately and provide the appropriate information, disclosures, and authorization forms before conducting the screening.

A criminal history, if lawfully obtained and considered, will not automatically disqualify an individual from volunteering. CCBC will consider applicable legal requirements and the nature of the volunteer assignment when making any volunteer placement decision.
