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.
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”. Volunteer jobs are split into 3 shifts, exceptions are noted in descriptions.
