[Virtual] Volunteer Screening Team Members


American Red Cross Hawaii Chapter

[Virtual] Volunteer Screening Team Members are the first line of contact for incoming volunteers. Each week the screening team pulls a report of all incoming volunteers from the prior week that have completed their background check and other intake steps. Then all those potential volunteers must go through a 1×1 screening interview. This is where we determine their interests, background and availability. We then walk the volunteers through the different departments and what positions are available under each. Once we have found a good fit for the volunteer, we refer them out to the appropriate department for training. Should the volunteer’s referral be rejected because the department determines they’re not a good fit for that role, we will re-screen and refer them again for a new role.

Responsibilities:

  1. Intake new prospective volunteers
  2. Conduct Screening Interviews with all incoming prospective volunteers
  3. Refer prospective volunteers to the most appropriate department in the position that makes the most sense

About the organizer

Mission statement:”The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of disasters by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.” Vision Statement:The American Red Cross, through its strong network of volunteers, donors and partners, is always there in times of need. We aspire to turn compassion into action so that… …all people affected by disaster across the country and around the world receive care, shelter and hope; …our communities are ready and prepared for disasters; …everyone in our country has access to safe, lifesaving blood and blood products; …all members of our armed services and their families find support and comfort whenever needed; and …in an emergency, there are always trained individuals nearby, ready to use their Red Cross skills to save lives.Fundamental Principles of the Global Red Cross Network: Humanity The Red Cross, born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavors—in its international and national capacity—to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for the human being. It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all peoples. Impartiality It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It endeavors to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress. Neutrality In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Red Cross may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature. Independence The Red Cross is independent. The national societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services of their governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with Red Cross principles. Voluntary Service The Red Cross is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain. Unity There can be only one Red Cross society in any one country. It must be open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory. Universality The Red Cross is a worldwide institution in which all societies have equal status and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other.
