Heart Screening Volunteer Jobs

The Foundation provides about 40 medical volunteers and 20 non-medical event volunteers. The host site will need to provide 30-40 volunteers.  Volunteers can include school staff, teachers, coaches, trainers or parents. Prior to the screening, The Foundation will provide a link for adult and student volunteers on our volunteer management software (Time To Sign-Up).
 
We ask that all volunteers watch the video about the Foundation prior to participating in a heart screening event – please review the video – “OUR LIFESAVING WORK” on the home page.  Volunteer jobs are split into 3 shifts, exceptions are noted in descriptions.
 
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to shift for orientation, sign-in upon arrival and sign-out when completed hours worked. 
A Volunteer Acknowledgement Form will be available for community service hours credit.
