Stanford Blood Center Needs Volunteers

You don't need medical experience, just extra time and a willingness to help.

 

Stanford Blood Center offers a wide variety of volunteer positions and opportunities to participate in a worthwhile program. Volunteers may choose among positions at our centers in Palo Alto and Mountain View, as well as at blood drives located throughout the Peninsula and South Bay at businesses, community organizations, schools, etc.

The volunteer program is an integral part of the Stanford Blood Center. Most of our volunteer positions involve interaction with donors and medical personnel. All of our volunteer positions help us achieve our goal of providing blood products to patients in need.
