About the Role

Every single day, the American Red Cross helps people in emergencies. Whether it’s one displaced family, thousands of disaster victims, or providing care and comfort to an ill or injured service member or veteran or support to a military family member, our vital work is made possible by people like you. It is through the time and care of ordinary people that we can do extraordinary things. As a Volunteer Screener on the Volunteer Services team in Greater New York, you’ll help build the foundation of the American Red Cross—our volunteers.

Your work fuels the mission and empowers communities to make a difference.
