Be a DonorConnect Volunteer
Many volunteer opportunities are available through DonorConnect. Our volunteers help with health fairs, speak to service organizations and help with special projects. Public education is crucial to our mission and our volunteers are an integral part of this effort. We are always looking for new volunteers and also those willing to work with the media as part of news stories, TV spots, etc.
We conduct volunteer training at the start of each calendar quarter for new and current volunteers. We are also able to provide new volunteers with basic training on an ongoing basis, so they can get started as soon a possible. Please contact DonorConnect at (801) 521-1755 or info@yesutah.org if you are interested in volunteering with us.

We will need to get some contact information from you so we can email you the forms we will need to get started.
Paperwork
We have some basic paperwork we will need to have you fill out for us. It included a volunteer information sheet that will give us your contact information, let us know some of the types of volunteer activities you would like to be involved in and talents or skills you would like to share with us. We will also ask you to sign a confidentiality statement, a safety form and a consent form. We are happy to answer an questions you might have about these forms.
Training
We hold a volunteer training quarterly and hope that you will be able to attend one of these training meetings. We will also mail you an introductory packet with a video about donation and some other information we hope you will find helpful. You will be working with an experienced volunteer for your first few volunteer opportunities. If you are unable to make it to a training meeting or need the training sooner, we can often work out an alternate training plan.
