My Story Monday: Maureen Keithley – Volunteer Services Screener

Our volunteers are always ready to respond, whether by offering support when disaster strikes, helping with lifesaving blood collection or working behind the scenes to support our vital mission.

Maureen joined the Red Cross as a Louisville Area Chapter volunteer after retiring from University of Wisconsin Education Research, Madison in 2019.

For years, Maureen has been a blood donor in Illinois and Kentucky. Now she also volunteers with the Red Cross a couple times a week by working with our Volunteer Services department as a Volunteer Screener. Red Cross Volunteer Screeners speak with prospective volunteers to understand what brings them to the Red Cross. They learn about their areas of interest and what positions they would find most meaningful, and use this to help match the volunteer with the needs of the organization.

“I love extending Red Cross gratitude to newbies, as well as helping them find an avenue for Red Cross service too.”

Thank you, Maureen, for all you do!
