Gillian joined the American Red Cross as a Louisville Area Chapter volunteer because she “wanted to be useful in a time when so many feel helpless”. As an immunocompromised person, Gillian was limited in the scope of how she could reach others in a COVID-19 environment. When she reached out to the Red Cross, she found that she had options for volunteering during the pandemic.
“I lucked out in being placed in [the] Volunteer Screening Team,” said Gillian. “In this role, I feel as though I am able to connect people with the positions that excite their philanthropic inclinations.”
Red Cross Volunteer Screeners speak with people who are interested in becoming volunteers to understand what brings them to the Red Cross. They learn about their interests and what positions they might find most meaningful, and use this information to help match volunteers with opportunities within the Red Cross.
“Talking with these folks is a constant reminder of all the good in this world, and it is an honor to usher these lovely people to their futures at [the] American Red Cross.”
Thank you, Gillian, for everything you do!
